EBB TIDE: Recovery From the 1997 Flood

Oak Grove School

Like schools in Ada, Breckenridge, Grand Forks, and elsewhere, Oak Grove Lutheran School had to find another location for classes after the flood. Oak Grove students finished the school year at Concordia College while volunteers began restoring the campus in north Fargo. Classes resumed at Oak Grove for the 1997-98 school year.
