East Mills Community School District

East Mills Community School District or East Mills Schools is a school district headquartered in Hastings, Iowa, United States.[1] The district is mostly in Mills County, with small portions in Montgomery County. It serves the communities of Hastings, Emerson, Henderson, and Malvern.[2]

It operates two high schools, East Mills Elementary School and East Mills Junior/Senior High School.

History

East Mills Schools formed on July 1, 2011 from the merger of the Malvern Community School District and the Nishna Valley Community School District.[3] Voters in both districts approved the consolidation on a 6 to 1 basis in 2010; 19.2% of the registered voters in the districts, a total of 483 people, participated in that election.[4] The merger was done so the school system could keep classes and teachers.

In 2014 the district had a total of 494 students.[5]

It previously operated Chantry Elementary School in Malvern, but the district closed the school in 2014.[6]
