Sustaining Excellence
at Moorhead Area Public Schools

November 4, 2025 Referendum

At Moorhead Area Public Schools, we are guided by a clear purpose: helping every learner thrive in a changing world. Through strong relationships, high expectations, and responsible stewardship of public resources, we are building foundations for the future.

We are proud of the progress we’ve made — from literacy gains and real-world learning at the Moorhead High School Career Academy to a decade of enrollment growth and statewide recognition in academics and activities. But like many school districts across Minnesota, we are facing serious funding challenges.

Despite making $4 million in budget cuts this year, another $5 million in cuts will be necessary next year without additional funding. These ongoing cuts undermine the quality of education in our classrooms and make it difficult to invest in the future.
