The district, which serves Alta and Aurelia, covers sections of Buena Vista and Cherokee counties, with a very small section in Sac County.[4][5]

It was created on July 1, 2018, as the merger of the Alta Community School District and the Aurelia Community School District, though they had previously shared high school sports.[6] The merger was approved 178–55 in Aurelia and 257–8 in Alta during a September 2017 election.[7]
