Armstrong-Ringsted Community School District

Armstrong-Ringsted Community School District was a school district headquartered in Armstrong, Iowa.

Its area included sections of Emmet, Kossuth, and Palo Alto counties, and it served the communities of Armstrong and Ringsted.[1]

It operated Armstrong-Ringsted Elementary School, Middle School, and High School.[2]

History

It was established on July 1, 1979 by the merger of the Armstrong School District and the Ringsted School District.[3]

At one point the district joined a grade-sharing arrangement, in which a school district sends its students to another district's schools, that had been already established between the Sentral Community School District and the North Kossuth Community School District.[4] On July 1, 2014 Armstrong-Ringsted merged with the Sentral district to form the North Union Community School District.[3] The merger passed in the Armstrong-Ringsted district by 291-42 and in Sentral by 78-18, and the approval was through a total of 86% of voters in both school districts.[4]
