THS is connected to Thompson Elementary School and together we have a K-12 enrollment of over 650 students. Thompson, ND is a bedroom community 7 miles south of Grand Forks that has a population of approximately 1000. 

The goal of our staff is to develop life-long learners who, through the course of middle/high school, will develop the academic, social, and workplace skills necessary to compete in the 21st century global economy.
