WATFORD CITY, N.D. – Students in Watford City will say goodbye to crowded hallways and portable classrooms as they transition to a newly constructed high school this week.
The completion of the $53 million school marks a new era for the school district that has seen enrollment nearly triple since the beginning of the Bakken oil boom.
Students in grades 7-12 will begin attending classes on Tuesday in the new 163,000-square-foot building, freeing up space in the district’s other two buildings for elementary grades.
