Ada-Borup High School is committed to providing an equal opportunity for learning by respecting the student's individual needs for education, to instill values and the importance of continual learning through the cooperative efforts of motivated students, dedicated staff, caring families and an involved community.
Our school district serves the communities of Twin Valley and Gary. The Norman County East Board of Education and our district staff are committed to providing quality education for the 344 students in pre-school through grade 12 that attend our schools. Our educational facilities include an elementary building in Gary that houses our pre-school through grade 6 programs. The Twin Valley site houses our student in grades 7-12. We are fortunate to have gymnasiums at both sites for our students.
Our school district exhibits a great deal of "heart". We are proud of our highly trained and experienced staff and the value they place upon each student's education. Our school district is small enough to allow staff to know our students as individuals and yet large enough to offer the variety of educational programs and extra-curricular experiences that our youth need. We believe that the Norman County East area is an ideal place for families to live and grow together.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about our schools.

Norman County West has a highly qualified, certified staff serving 264 K-12 students. In collaboration with a veteran support staff they create a climate of “sharing” and “caring”. There is, indeed a feeling of “family” at Norman County West.
Norman County West Elementary is located in Hendrum, MN. Hendrum is located on Highway 75 -- 30 miles north of Moorhead, MN. Norman County West High School is located in Halstad, MN. Halstad is located at the intersection of Highway 200 and Highway 75 -- 35 miles north of Moorhead, MN. Both school buildings are points of pride in the communities and are impeccably maintained. The Norman County West Schools have been in existence since the 1982-83 school year, when Halstad ISD #524 and Hendrum ISD #525 paired. The two districts consolidated in 1991.
The mission statement of the Norman County West School District is “To build caring and contributing members of a community.” The school is a community of learners where reading, writing, math, social studies, science, critical thinking, and processing skills are taught and applied throughout the curriculum.
