Opportunities at the Lodoen Center
The original building was built in 1941 to serve as the district’s first high school. In 1954, an addition created the classroom wing on the north side of the building. A 1959 addition relocated the gymnasium to the space currently occupied by the West Fargo Public Library. In 1973, the current gymnasiums were added, which allowed for the renovation of the existing gymnasium into a theater. The building transitioned to a middle school when West Fargo High School opened in 1986. Substantial remodeling occurred in 2005 when the building was converted to a community building. Lodoen Community Center now holds the district’s Transition Academy, Alternative Middle School Program, Early Childhood Special Education, and Community High School programs. The building occupies a 15-acre site, which includes the district’s soccer complex, a play area for the ECSE program, as well as amenities for the Lodoen Kindergarten Center.
