Horace, North Dakota: meals for a high school build-out that runs into 2028
Horace High School is adding classroom space in stages, and the district's project page shows the biggest phase running from late spring 2026 to summer 2028. A job that long, tied to a growing student body, brings steady trades traffic and a long list of reasons someone might need food service on the property.
A kitchen for Horace leaves the Bismarck warehouse, about 230 miles from the site area. The rental team confirms route and timing.
Who answers licensing questions here?
- Does Fargo Cass Public Health cover Horace?
- Ask. The agency's food and beverage page describes work in Fargo and West Fargo and does not mention Horace, and it says the state licenses vendors at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds. Confirm in writing whether Fargo Cass Public Health or the state Food and Lodging Unit would license a trailer at a Horace school site.
- Is a plan review needed for a trailer?
- The same page links a mobile food plan review application. Ask whether it applies to a temporary kitchen, how long review takes, and which city office handles any building or fire inspection.
A phased project
West Fargo Public Schools describes the work in two parts. Phase one covered about 7,900 square feet of classroom shells, and phase two is a full build-out with a multipurpose room. Gehrtz Construction is the construction manager at risk.
Each stage opens and closes different doors. Phase two on a lived-in campus means shifting delivery routes and parking, which is worth mapping before any food service is placed.
Why the long schedule matters
Horace High School construction project ↗
West Fargo Public Schools
The district's project page lists a two-phase Horace High expansion. Phase one covered classroom shells, and phase two is a full build-out with a multipurpose room, with construction estimated from late spring 2026 to summer 2028. Gehrtz Construction is construction manager at risk and YHR Partners is architect.
For a kitchen rental: If the schedule shuts cafeteria space or sends crews and staff to the site for long days, a temporary kitchen question could arise.
A district page rather than a press story carries the project record, and the dates come from the board's own schedule. Costs on the page differ between the referendum estimate and the guaranteed maximum price set in March 2026.
Two-year builds give time to plan. A kitchen conversation could begin with the construction manager's logistics lead, well before concrete is poured.

- Ask the district Contact West Fargo Public Schools facilities staff about pad location and access routes.
- Confirm utilities Check with the construction manager about temporary power and water at the site.
- Request availability Send the address, start date and meal counts for routing and unit confirmation.
Cold-weather checks for a Horace pad
- A snow storage plan that does not bury the trailer's service side or fire access.
- A heated water supply or insulated line for nights below freezing.
- A thaw-season ground check with the contractor, since a pad that is firm in January may not be firm in April.
- Awareness that the National Weather Service lists minor flood stage at the Fargo Red River gauge as 18.0 feet, so ask about spring access.
Pricing example for a staged build
During a three-week period when cafeteria space is shut for mechanical and electrical tie-ins at a Horace school, a contractor and district ask whether a large kitchen with a dish unit could serve both crews and staff from a lot near the building.
