History

Establishment and early years (1965-1967)

East Noble School Corporation has its origins from the school consolidations that occurred in Indiana in the 1950s and 1960s that were the result of an act on the part of the Indiana General Assembly, [2] [3] At that time, the high schools in Rome City, Avilla and Kendallville were converted into middle schools. In 1966, construction of East Noble High School was completed. The school's first classes walked through the doors in the fall of 1966, and its first graduating class walked in 1967.[ citation needed ]

Reorganization and later developments (2009-present)

Elementary-aged students residing in LaOtto attended LaOtto Elementary School for grades K-5 from the school corporation's founding in 1965 until 2009, when East Noble School Corporation's School Board of trustees voted to close LaOtto Elementary. This also resulted in extending Rome City, Avilla and Kendallville Elementary/Middle Schools from K-5 to K-6 students, consolidated the middle schools of the aforementioned cities into the original Kendallville Middle School building, creating East Noble Middle School. The new middle school housed education for students grades 7 and 8. [4]
