Lewis and Clark Public School District 161 is a school district headquartered in Berthold, North Dakota.[2] The district is named after Lewis and Clark.

It operates two schools: Berthold Public School and NSP Public School, the latter in Plaza and serving Plaza and North Shore.

History[edit]

The district formed on July 1, 2003 from the merger of the Berthold, North Shore, and Plaza school districts. In Berthold, the vote to approve the merger was 167-35. In North Shore, the vote was 178-64. In Plaza, the vote was 146-2.[3] The North Shore district was based in Makoti.[4]

In 2011 residents of northern McLean County and southern Ward County requested to the state that it re-assign 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) of land, or 125 sections of land, from Lewis and Clark to the Max School District.[5]

Area[edit]

The district has 875 square miles (2,270 km2) of territory.[3] In Ward County the district serves Berthold, Makoti, much of Carpio, and a section of Ryder.[6] Within Mountrail County it serves Plaza.[7]

It also serves sections of McLean County and Renville County.[8][9]
