Sentral Community School District

Sentral Community School District was a school district headquartered in Fenton, Iowa.[1] It served the communities of Fenton, Lone Rock, and Seneca. The spelling "Sentral" was deliberately adopted to be a reference to "Seneca" and to differentiate itself from various other school systems using the word "Central". As of 2004 the district had around 300 students.[2]

History

Initially the district had separate K-12 schools in Fenton, Lone Rock, and Seneca. The mascot for the consolidated secondary school was chosen in 1957 and the school itself first opened in 1959.[2]

In 2008 the Sentral district began a grade-sharing arrangement with the North Kossuth Community School District,[3] resulting in a new North Sentral Kossuth High School in Swea City.[4] Later the Armstrong-Ringsted Community School District entered into a new grade-sharing arrangement with Sentral.[3]

On July 1, 2014 Armstrong-Ringsted merged with the Sentral district to form the North Union Community School District.[5] 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.[3]
