Fargo Central High School alumni reminisce about the fire that destroyed their school 55 years ago today
In the mid-1960's, a fire in Fargo upended the lives of hundreds of Fargo High School students. Central High burned on April 19, 1966, leaving seniors with an interrupted final year and requiring Central students to share space with students at the newly built North High School. Several alums share their memories of those wild days.

Fargo Central High School caught fire around lunchtime on April 19, 1966. The fire was thought to be caused by a malfunction in a heating plant within the school. All eight units of the city's fire fighting equipment were on hand, along with 76 firemen, including off-duty firefighters. The snowstorm complicated firefighting as 30 mile per hour winds fanned the flames. It took four hours to put it out.Photo courtesy: NDSU Archives
