Oak Grove began as school that housed mostly Norwegian schoolgirls.HistoryIn the spring of 2009, Oak Grove face yet another set back as the rise of the Red River gave the region another record setting flood. Dedicated volunteers and staff prepared and protected the north campus, but unfortunately on March 29, 2009 a breach occurred in the steal cofferdam to the north of Benson Hall. The river water caused devastating damage to the campus grounds, Benson Hall and Jackson Hall. School leaders did not give up, but set yet again to repair and open the school’s doors to educate students. Middle school and high school students were relocated to a vacant wing of a nearby public school for the remainder of the year. Efforts were begun immediately to reconstruct the affected areas at the north campus and prepare to open its doors for the 2009-2010 Academic school year.Athletic historyOak Grove competes in the North Dakota High School Activities Association.State Class "B" Boys' Basketball Champions: 1969, 2000, 2014State Class "B" Football Champions: 1982State Class AA football champions: 2007 (vs. Devils Lake Firebirds)Fine artsIn 2009, an Oak Grove student competed as a young arts finalist in classical voice - tenor for the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts.Music programStudents participate in choirs K-12.
