OMSD formed in 2004 as a result of an Arkansas law stating that school districts must have a minimum of 350 students. This requirement led to the July 1, 2004 consolidation of three separate school districts, Bruno–Pyatt, St. Joe and Western Grove, into the Ozark Mountain School District.[2] In 2012, the nearby Lead Hill School District failed in an attempt to consolidate with OMSD.
