History

The English Valleys Community School District formed in 1958, the result of the merger of several school districts in southern Iowa and northern Keokuk counties: North English, South English, Kinross and Webster.

The Deep River–Millersburg Community School District began a whole-grade sharing program with English Valleys and the Montezuma Community School District in 1992, sending its junior and senior high school students to both secondary schools, with each student choosing which one he/she preferred, while maintaining its elementary school in Millersburg.[4] Deep River–Millersburg, which had been based in Millersburg, consolidated with English Valleys on July 1, 2009,[5] with the elementary building closed and students sent to North English. Some of the territory of Deep River–Millersburg instead went to the Montezuma district.[5]

  • English Valleys Elementary School
