I apologize if this has already been explained, but why do I see Lewis and Clark - Our Redeemer's in some places, Berthold - Our Redeemer's in other places, and just plain Berthold in others?

The correct name is "Lewis & Clark-Our Redeemer's." Lewis & Cark school district includes the towns of Berthold, Makoti, Ryder and Plaza. Those four towns combine with Minot Our Redeemer's Christian school for the co-op. But ... since "Lewis & Clark-Our Redeemer's" tells me and others no geographical location (a town name in it's title) people still refer to them as Berthold-Our Redeemer's, probably to the chagrin of Makoti, Ryder and Plaza who feel left out. ?? Oh well I guess. Parshall used to co-op with Makoti and Plaza for football, they now co-op with White Shield. That's my understanding in brief ... or not so brief.

Thanks for the explanation Football Guy. Much appreciated.
