Garnavillo Community School District

[1] Education in the Garnavillo area began with a German Lutheran school established in 1844.

In 1847 the State of Iowa mandated that communities establish schools if they had at least fifty families, and so Garnavillo established a public school.

A separate secondary school building opened in 1962.

[2] The district began sharing athletic teams with Garnavillo in 2000.

[5] The merger into the Clayton Ridge Community School District was effective July 1, 2005.
