The 1949 Garnavillo School Gymnasium

Education in the Garnavillo area began with a German Lutheran school established in 1844. In 1847 the State of Iowa mandated that communities establish schools if they had at least fifty families, and so Garnavillo established a public school. The Garnavillo public school received expansions after other districts consolidated into Garnavillo. A separate secondary school building opened in 1962. [1]

In December 1999 the district and the Guttenberg Community School District agreed to begin whole-grade-sharing (in which students from one district attend another district's schools for a particular grade level) in 2001. [2] The district began sharing athletic teams with Garnavillo in 2000. The whole grade-sharing began as scheduled in 2001. [3] The districts combined their secondary schools, with the high school in Guttenberg and the middle school in Garnavillo. The two retained their respective elementary schools. [4]

On September 14, 2004, an election on merging the two districts into one was held, with Guttenberg district voters approving it 396–19, and Garnavillo district voters approving it 188–20. [5] The merger into the Clayton Ridge Community School District was effective July 1, 2005. [6]
