Contents

Its area included sections of Emmet, Kossuth and Palo Alto counties, and it served the communities of Armstrong and Ringsted. [1]

It operated Armstrong–Ringsted Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. [2]

History

It was established on July 1, 1979(45 years ago) by the merger of the Armstrong School District and the Ringsted School District. [3]

At one point the district joined a grade-sharing arrangement, in which a school district sends its students to another district's schools, that had been already established between the Sentral Community School District and the North Kossuth Community School District. [4] This new agreement began on July 1, 2012. At the same time Matt Berninghaus became the superintendent of Armstrong–Ringsted. [5]

On July 1, 2014, Armstrong–Ringsted merged with the Sentral district to form the North Union Community School District. [3] The merger passed in the Armstrong–Ringsted district by 291–42 and in Sentral by 78–18, and the approval was through a total of 86% of voters in both school districts. [4]
