Our mission in Fargo Public School is to educate and empower all students to succeed. This means focusing on the needs of all students and collectively working to ensure that we provide opportunities for every child to pursue their goals and dreams and to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to achieve those goals. To ensure that our schools are committed to excellence through a student-centered learning environment supported by positive collaborations with students, staff, parents, school, and community, we provide students with a broad knowledge base by engaging in a standards-based curriculum with co-curricular opportunities. The Fargo Public Schools Strategic Plan is designed to create the experiences we want for children in our progressive and fast paced community of Fargo. FPS keeps pace with the economic growth and also the diversity of cultures that now is part of the area communities. We take pride in the commitment all 3,200 staff members show students every day. We are honored with the privilege of educating more than 11,300 students and are dedicated to our mission of “achieving excellence by education and empowering all students to succeed.” Please take the time to learn more about our students and our district and we invite you to a collaborative partnership that allows us provide the best future for our children together.
