History

After the 1962 consolidation of Tama, Toledo, Iowa, Montour, Iowa, Chelsea, Iowa, Vining, Iowa schools, the high school was called just, "Tama-Toledo" or "T-T" for short. Tama and Toledo had separate buildings from before the consolidation, but still was considered as one high school. This would change after the current high school building was built in 1968. It held 10th to 12th grade and 9th was kept at the Toledo building (Current STC Middle School) with 8th and 7th grades. [2] The Tama building served as many things but was an intermediate school for many years until the current elementary school was built in 2006. [3]

In 2017, a new addition was added behind the school. It replaced the portable classrooms the district had for many years. It also gave more space for the fine arts department, such as theatre, instrumental music, vocal, etc. This addition also gave new classrooms for the math and science departments and a commons area. [4] [5]
