On Friday, July 16, 2021 all Moorhead Area Public Schools buildings will be closed. As a part of the Moorhead High School project, an electrical transformer needs to be relocated. This process will result in a loss of all phone and internet service from 8 a.m to 1 p.m. on Friday. As a result, all buildings will be closed to the public.
