AHSTW Community School District

AHSTW Community School District is a school district headquartered in Avoca, Iowa.[1]

The district serves sections of Cass, Harrison, Pottawattamie, and Shelby counties. It serves Avoca, Hancock, Shelby, Walnut, and much of Tennant.[2] The initials of the five cities form the name of the school district.[3]

History

It was formed by the merger of the A-H-S-T Community School District and the Walnut Community School District on July 1, 2016.[4] The initial school board was to be simply a combination of the existing A-H-S-T and Walnut districts, with a total of seven members: two from Walnut and the remainder from A-H-S-T. The prospective future board would have seven members, with two at-large and the remainder based on voting districts.[5] The proportion was set since the former Walnut district had about one-fourth of the population of the combined AHSTW district.[6]

School building

Circa 2015 the middle school area of the AHSTW Secondary School building in Avoca was scheduled to receive an expansion.[7]
