Schoolhouse Demolished
The West Nickel Mines School was demolished the following week, on 12 October 2006. The site was left as a quiet pasture. The New Hope School was built at a different location, near the original site. It opened on 2 April 2007, precisely six months after the shooting. The new school was intentionally built as "different" as possible from the original, including the style of the flooring.

Famous quotes containing the word schoolhouse:
“We saw one schoolhouse in our walk, and listened to the sounds which issued from it; but it appeared like a place where the process, not of enlightening, but of obfuscating the mind was going on, and the pupils received only so much light as could penetrate the shadow of the Catholic Church.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
