Construction Updates
The partitions between the
existing structure and the academic addition have been removed and the
transition between surfaces is almost complete.
Students in the building will recognize the view second floor as one of
the pictures looks north into the academic addition. The majority of the second floor classrooms
are near completion. Most just need the
installation of a countertop and ceiling projector. Lockers have been installed on both floors and
second floor is very close to having carpet installed in the hallways.
The
majority of freshmen will remain housed in our original
building. The class of 2017 in WFPS will be over 600
students so
some classes will be forced to be held in the academic
addition
. All freshmen will remain on
academic teams with their core
classes being held in the team area that houses
their locker. This
will allow for
collaboration between staff members as they work
on shared activities as well
as engage in conversations regarding
the academic success of students. There will STEM teams for both
freshmen and
sophomores students. These teams will
have an
increased number of shared activities and projects as the
freshmen team
will have their time with their World Geography
teacher increased to a full
year.
Introduction
Greetings from Sheyenne High School, home of the
Mustangs! My name is Greg Grooters and I
am thrilled to have been selected as the principal to lead the expansion from a
ninth grade center to a comprehensive high school. We have a great staff at Sheyenne and we have
made some nice additions this spring to lead some of our new programs as well
as assemble a staff to serve our sophomore population.
The construction that you see on our site is evidence of the
commitment to education that is present in the West Fargo School District. Our academic addition on the north end will
add roughly 100,000 square feet to our existing 130,000 square foot
structure. This will boost our estimated
capacity from 600 to 1,500 students.
Included in this addition are specialized spaces that will allow West
Fargo Public School students to enroll in CISCO, and Health Career classes that
are offered in the district.
