FARGO (KFGO) – Woodrow Wilson high school is one step closer to getting a new name.
The Fargo School Board has selected five options; Dakota, Central, Voyageur, Valley and Agnes Geelan High School.
The process began with public input. There were 129 names suggested. It was then left in the hands of school board members who narrowed the list to 26. Each member then took an online survey that generated the top five.
Agnes Geelan was the only name of a historical figure chosen in the top five. Geelan was a North Dakota native and teacher who became the first female mayor in North Dakota and the first female state senator in North Dakota.
Staff and students also asked not to include “Alternative” or “Academy” in the name. Their top choices were Dakota and Voyageur High School.
