Daniel Ray Mooring, 16, of Freemont, and Joshua Allen Tucker White, 16, of Goldsboro, both face charges of burning a school building and felony breaking and entering. They were each given a $30,000 secured bond.
Maj. Tom Effler said the teens broke into the gym of the old Belfast School and set fire to the building and its contents on April 11. The school building hasn't been occupied for a couple years but is still owned by the Wayne County Public School System.
Effler said tipsters helped the fire marshal and deputies identify the suspects.
