History
The district previously operated Corning High School.
On July 1, 2008, the district absorbed portions of the former New Market Community School District.[4]
By 2011, the process of establishing a grade-sharing agreement with Villisca was under way. A feasibility study conducted that year by Dr. Robert Decker of the University of Northern Iowa recommended doing the grade-sharing between Corning and Villisca.[5]
