History

In 1911 there was a mass gathering of voters to where the school leadership addressed issues.[4]

In 1972 the district was seeking to change its taxation to a six mill total increase so that it could expand the secondary school building.[5]

Dale Bader became the superintendent on July 1, 1976.[6]

In 2019 Wolford School District was disestablished.[7] Rugby Public Schools received a part of the district.[8]
