📚 “Standards-Based. Student-Focused.”

🚀 BIG MOVES in Academic Excellence! 🚀
At Four Winds High School, we’re not just raising expectations—we’re transforming the way students learn and succeed. Last year we started working with North Dakota Standards-Based Learning (NDSBL) program with the help of Northeast Education Services Cooperative (NESC), and our Instructional Coach Katie !

📌 What’s changing?
We’re shifting the focus from chasing points to achieving true mastery. Students will have:
🔹 Clear learning goals
🔹 Multiple opportunities to show what they know
🔹 Targeted support to meet and exceed expectations

🎥 We’re also featured in the NDSBL Impact Film!
We’re proud to be recognized as a leader in North Dakota. Watch how we’re making a difference:

This is a powerful step forward for our students and community—because at Four Winds, we believe in high expectations with high support. 💙

Great News at Four Winds High School! We are excited to share that Four Winds High School has been awarded 21st Century Grant funding to provide morning and after-school activities and clubs for our students! Morning Program started on September 2nd and will operate daily until the last day of school. Students will have a quiet room before class starts to catch up on work or participate in activities such as board games, art, or cooking. Students will have a voice in activities offered. We are currently in the planning phase of After-School activities and have posted sign-up sheets to gauge student interest. So far, E-Sports has had the most interest, but we hope to offer the other activities.  • 🥁 Drum Group • 🎨 Art & Community Projects • 💼 Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) • 🎮 E-Sports • 🔬 STEM • 🧵 Sewing / Family, Career & Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) If your high school student is interested in participating, please fill out the electronic registration form or have them stop by the HS Office to pick up an application. We can’t wait to see our students explore their passions, develop new skills, and build community together through these opportunities!

A Stronger School Culture
We Are One Family at FWHS
Last year, we rebuilt our school culture with trust, teamwork, and pride.
From classroom communities to student leadership, the Indians Nation proved what it means to lead with heart.
