History

East Mills Schools 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 was done so the school system could keep classes and teachers.
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.
