It’s always a great day to be a Hi-Liner, and this news takes it to another level!🩵

Smaller schools not only provide the ideal student-to-teacher ratio, but also allow students to explore their passions and participate in multiple activities. This ensures students reach their full potential within the classroom and beyond. With multiple options for childcare and public or private institutions, your family’s educational needs and preferences can most definitely be met.

From mathlete to athlete, students can choose from a long list of extracurricular activities. The Hi-Liners have a rich history of state titles in a variety of sports and our schools offer endless opportunities for kids to get involved. Tennis, dance, art club, robotics, jazz band, theater – the list goes on.

Consider this your personal invitation to explore joining our community and sharing the Hi-Liner pride!

There’s something special about a community that teaches its youngest leaders what it truly means to give back 💛

From learning together to taking action, BIO Girls - Valley City, ND's Service Project Day brought them to the Barnes County Food Pantry! It’s hands-on experiences like this that build confidence, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to community.

Moments like these are what make Valley City such a special place to live, grow, and belong. When our youth are empowered to lead with kindness and service, the future of our community is in good hands! Thank you for being so incredible, BIO Girls - Valley City, ND!
