Woodrow Wilson High School
FARGO (KFGO) – The name Woodrow Wilson will be removed from a high school.
The decision by the school board Tuesday night came after a survey of residents found the majority favored dropping the name of the 28th U.S. president because of racism. Some community members had urged such a move for years.
Some of those pushing for the change said they feel the school board did not take the process seriously until racial tensions around the country were heightened this summer following the death of George Floyd and others.
The renaming process will begin immediately. The school could be renamed by the 2021-2022 school year.
