History The district formed on July 1, 1994, with the merger of the Britt and Kanawha districts.
On July 1, 2015, the Corwith–Wesley Community School District dissolved, with a portion of the district being taken by West Hancock CSD.
In 2019, the district was making plans to renovate some buildings. It initially hired the Des Moines company Samuels Group as a contractor as the company had the lowest bid on a $100,000 plus margin, but the company terminated its involvement, forcing the district to find a new contractor.
