History

In the 1950s, the smaller Dahlonega school district was absorbed into the Ottumwa school district.[3] (Dahlonega School No. 1 was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.)

On July 1, 1991, it absorbed a portion of the former Hedrick Community School District, which was involuntarily dissolved by the State of Iowa.[4]
