East Mills Community School District or East Mills Schools is a rural public school district headquartered in Hastings, Iowa, United States. The district is mostly in Mills County, with small portions in Montgomery County. It serves the communities of Hastings, Emerson, Henderson, and Malvern.
History
East Mills Schools officially formed on July 1, 2011, from the merger of the Malvern Community School District and the Nishna Valley Community School District. Voters in both districts approved the consolidation on a 6 to 1 basis in 2010; 19.2% of the registered voters in the districts, a total of 483 people, participated in that election. The merger actually took place years earlier with the first class of East Mills graduating May 2008. The merger occurred to help both struggling districts combine assets and resources. Years prior to the mergers each school district participated in grade-sharing through both campuses.
In 2014, the district had a total of 494 students.
It previously operated Chantry Elementary School in Malvern, but the district closed the school in 2014.
