History
In 1945 (after World War II), the School Reorganization Act in Kansas caused the consolidation of thousands of rural school districts in Kansas.
In 1963, the School Unification Act in Kansas caused the further consolidatation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger Unified School Districts.
It was formed in 2003 by the consolidation of Herndon USD 317 and Atwood USD 318.
In June 2023, the high school was damaged by a fire.
