Winifred School superintendent Chad Fordyce speaks about the new $40 million project that will put Winifred students in a brand new building in 2022. Norm Asbjornson has pledged the millions needed to bring the small Montana town a state-of-the-art school. Billings Gazette
Big changes are underway in the small central Montana town of Winifred, where a man who grew up there has committed millions of dollars for a school that will transform the face of local education in the rural community.
To Montana State University students, particularly those studying engineering, Norm Asbjornson s name may already ring a bell. On the Bozeman university s campus stands Norm Asbjornson Hall, a $53 million building for the engineering school and honors college that was financed almost entirely by a gift from Asbjornson to his alma mater.
