History

It was formed by the merger of the A-H-S-T Community School District and the Walnut Community School District on July 1, 2016.[5] The initial school board was to be simply a combination of the existing A-H-S-T and Walnut districts, with a total of seven members: two from Walnut and the remainder from A-H-S-T. The prospective future board would have seven members, with two at-large and the remainder based on voting districts.[6] The proportion was set since the former Walnut district had about one-fourth of the population of the combined AHSTW district.[7]

School building

Circa 2015, the middle school area of the AHSTW Secondary School building in Avoca was scheduled to receive an expansion.[8]
