TOUTED AS the finest

The $20.6 million facility will seat 1,100 spectators and will bid not only for North Dakota high school championships but also Midwestern and university swim meets.

Two new elementary schools will bring the district’s total to 14. A new transportation facility will house up to 100 school buses indoors. Several schools are getting new classrooms, interior renovations and expanded common spaces.

And the district’s new $18 million, two-sheet hockey facility – the West Fargo Sports Arena – is big enough to host both the West Fargo and Sheyenne high schools’ hockey programs. Just in case, though, architects left room for a third sheet of ice, should the district keep growing and pass yet another bond issue – as many West Fargo observers expect. PB
