The district formed on July 1, 1980, with the merger of the Eldora and New Providence school districts."REORGANIZATION & DISSOLUTION ACTIONS SINCE 1965-66." Iowa Department of Education. Retrieved on July 20, 2018. From 1997 to 2006 the district enrollment decreased by 125 students, or 16% of the original total. It began a grade-sharing arrangement with Hubbard–Radcliffe in 2006, with the former housing senior high school and the latter hosting middle school. In 2017 there was a proposal to continue the arrangement until 2023. This was done as other area districts had increased ties and/or consolidated altogether.
