In the fall of 1956 the high school burned in a fire. In 1957 there was a bond proposal for a rebuilt junior high school and a new high school. Residents were required to vote 66% in favor, but the vote was only about 63.7% in favor[2]
In 2023, Glen Croft became the superintendent.[3]
In 2024 the district announced that it will close Westside Elementary and shift students to Payette Primary and McCain Middle. All members of the board of trustees voted in favor of this.[4]
