Schoolhouse demolished



The West Nickel Mines School was demolished the following week, on October 12, 2006. The site was left as a quiet pasture. A new schoolhouse, called the New Hope School, was built at a different location, near the original site. It opened on April 2, 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.

Some of the Amish parents in the region are reluctant to send their children to the new school and instead prefer to educate them at home.
