Minot North High School opened for classes on August 21, 2024, and is part of a larger reconfiguration of Minot Public Schools. The senator previously helped break ground on the new school and commended city and school officials on their efforts to meet the needs of Minot\u2019s students.\n\n\u201cA quality education is the great equalizer, helping ensure young people have the skills they need to compete in the economy of the future and live a fulfilling life,\u201d said Hoeven. \u201cNot only does this new high school double the square footage of Minot High, it will also help double participation in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, meaning that more students will get opportunities to participate and learn. Congratulations to Superintendent Faul, former Superintendent Vollmer, Principal Johnson, and the community as a whole, who all worked together to make today\u2019s achievement possible.\u201d\n\nAs a member of the Senate, Hoeven has worked to provide resources to help prepare students for careers in industries that will be critical to the future of the state and nation\u2019s economy.
