“The Grand Forks Air Force Base is an essential part of our community’s fabric,” said Dr. Terry Brenner, Grand Forks Public Schools Superintendent. “With the support of the OLDCC, we are able to move forward on a school that will serve as a central hub of learning, support, and connection for generations of military families. This new Pre-K–8 building is not just an educational facility—it is a long-term commitment to our Airmen, their dependents, and the unique needs of military life.”
