History

Beginning in 2001 and up to 2011 its student enrollment increased each year by about 5%. The Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote in 2011 that not very many Minnesota school districts had increasing enrollment. That year there was an $8 million bond referendum so the district could acquire land for a new elementary school and a new high school, but voters rejected it with 2,676 against to 1,050 for it. Due to increasing enrollment preschool classes were moved into a warehouse.
Nancy Rajanen served as superintendent until her retirement effective June 30, 2014. Effective July 1, Patrick Devine, previously the principal of the middle school of the Litchfield School District, was selected as the district's superintendent.
