This school, set to combine students from Horace Mann, Roosevelt, and Madison Elementary Schools, is expected to open in Fall 2028.

Fargo’s New Elementary School May Bear the Name ‘Charlie Kirk’
Exciting changes are on the horizon for Fargo’s educational landscape! City Commissioner Michelle Turnberg has put forward a suggestion that’s generating quite a buzz—naming the new elementary school set to be built at the former Horace Mann Elementary School site as ‘Charlie Kirk Elementary’. This idea stems from a recent post by Fargo Public Schools that encouraged community input for the school’s name, and it’s certainly sparking discussions among residents.
Building Up Excitement
The new elementary school, which is slated to open its doors in Fall 2028, will uniquely combine students from the existing Horace Mann, Roosevelt, and Madison Elementary Schools. As the community comes together to prepare for this educational hub, Turnberg believes that naming it after Charlie Kirk, whom she honored by attending his funeral on September 21, could generate “positive, national news for Fargo”. This kind of visibility could not only highlight the new school but also put Fargo in the spotlight.
Decision-Making Process
The naming process is set up to be inclusive, allowing for community members to submit their suggestions until October 24. It’s important to note that the Fargo Board of Education will ultimately make the final decision, taking into account community proposals that hold some significance. This could be on a national, state, or local level, particularly in relation to education or the school system itself.
On November 12, the School Board will review all the suggestions and narrow down the names to a Top 5, which will then be discussed further. The final selection will be made at a meeting on November 25. Such a process gives everyone a chance to contribute to what the new school will represent and who it will honor.
What’s Next?
As the planning for this new educational institution continues full-steam ahead, it’s a wonderful opportunity for families, teachers, and students alike to engage in a collective decision that impacts their community. After living through a period of changes, the merging and renaming of schools can provide a fresh start and an exciting chapter for many.
Community Involvement
Community involvement is a crucial element of this process, allowing residents to feel included in shaping their educational environment. This school represents more than just a building; it will serve as a place of learning, growth, and community spirit for future generations.
With just a short time left for name submissions, community members are encouraged to think creatively and use this opportunity to engage with the school district. Whether the name becomes ‘Charlie Kirk Elementary’ or something else entirely, the future of education in Fargo is looking bright and forward-thinking.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Fargo Board of Education progresses through this naming journey and prepares for the grand opening of the new school in 2028. Who knows what the future holds or what exciting names will emerge from the community? One thing is for sure: the excitement is palpable!
