Fargo South High School is an American high school built in 1967 and located in Fargo, North Dakota. The main campus serves about 1,600 students, while freshmen attend South Campus II (formerly Agassiz Middle School), bringing the total student population to around 2,100 . The school is a part of the Fargo Public Schools system. The official school colors are brown and gold and the athletic teams are known as the “The Bruins.” Showing their typical Bruin Spirit most students helped sand-bag their city during a recent flood. Students from the flooded out Oak Grove have transferred to South Campus II until next year, when flood repairs should be finished.
