Amenities
The Community of Halstad has planned and developed strategies over many decades to ensure the community is a welcoming and fun place to live and visit. From the first rate Sanford health care network, to the world class telecommunication service, Halstad is a small community with big city luxuries. If a slower pace of life is more your style, you may enjoy the walking path, a theater production at the LRC or the boat landing for your immediate access to fishing the mighty Red River of the North.
Our community’s amenities include both our people and our facilities. Our city’s two new parks would not be what they are without the volunteer hours from our local residents. Hearing the kids laughing and the families enjoying time together is enough to know it was definitely worth the wait!
Whether you’re considering a visit or a lifetime stay, we invite you to discover all that makes us proud of our community.
Area Schools
Statewide enrollment options, informally known as open enrollment, is Minnesota’s public school choice option that allows students and parents to have access to schools that are not within their resident district. This program allows student enrollment from one school district into another. View the schools listed to explore academic and athletic offerings.
Childcare
Our community embraces our young families and their children. It is a high priority to ensure our children have a safe and educational environment throughout their childhood. Our child care providers are highly experienced and come with excellent reviews from both their licensing agency and the families they serve.
