A-H-S-T Community School District

A-H-S-T Community School District was a school district headquartered in Avoca, Iowa.[1]

The district served sections of Harrison, Pottawattamie, and Shelby counties. It served Avoca, Hancock, Shelby, and much of Tennant.[2]

History

It was formed by the merger of the Hancock-Avoca Community School District and the Shelby Community School District on July 1, 1996.[3]

In 2012 the A-H-S-T district and the Walnut Community School District began partial-day-sharing, in which students went to one school for some courses, as well as sharing of athletic programs. In 2014 the district began whole grade-sharing, in one school district sent its children to another school district to attend schools there all day.[4]

Circa 2015 the middle school area of the AHSTW Secondary School building in Avoca was scheduled to receive an expansion.[5]

The election for the school district merger was scheduled for September 8, 2015 after the Green Hills Area Education Agency approved of the merger proposal and election.[4] The vote was approved by 94% of the voters within A-H-S-T and 77% of those in Walnut, with a combined total of 614 for and 74 against.[6] On July 1, 2016 the A-H-S-T district merged with the Walnut district to form the AHSTW Community School District.[3]

gollark: It makes it harder to intercept, but if anyone finds the channel, still plaintext.
gollark: What, using modem directly instead? Because that's not much of a fix.
gollark: But what actual change are you making?
gollark: What are you tweaking, exactly...? Because I feel like you can't make a good solution just with find and replace.
