Horace Mann School Demolition Revealed

Fargo’s century-old Horace Mann Elementary is coming down this month, making way for a $45 million modern school set to open in fall 2028. While some mourn the loss of historic charm, district officials say renovation costs and accessibility issues made demolition the only viable option. No major materials will be reused, but beloved artifacts — like a 70s bench with a 1908 plaque or vintage coat hooks — will be preserved and displayed. After demolition ends in June, locals can snag bricks from the old school as keepsakes. The new campus will serve students from Horace Mann, Roosevelt, and Madison.
