The Woodrow Wilson School in Fargo, North Dakota is a Collegiate Gothic building designed by local architects Haxby and Braseth and listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of October 2012. Fargo's second-oldest surviving school building, it served as the city's sole high school until 1921 and exemplifies how architectural design evolved to accommodate Progressive-era educational ideals. Originally housing elementary grades with evening adult education programs, it later functioned as an alternative high school within the Fargo Public Schools district for much of its 95-year tenure before relocating to the Agassiz Building in 2012. The building was subsequently renamed Dakota High School in 2021.
