History
It was formed by the merger of the Hancock-Avoca Community School District and the Shelby Community School District on July 1, 1996.[3]
In 2012 the A-H-S-T district and the Walnut Community School District began partial-day-sharing, in which students went to one school for some courses, as well as sharing of athletic programs. In 2014 the district began whole grade-sharing, in one school district sent its children to another school district to attend schools there all day.[4]
Circa 2015 the middle school area of the AHSTW Secondary School building in Avoca was scheduled to receive an expansion.[5]
The election for the school district merger was scheduled for September 8, 2015 after the Green Hills Area Education Agency approved of the merger proposal and election.[4] The vote was approved by 94% of the voters within A-H-S-T and 77% of those in Walnut, with a combined total of 614 for and 74 against.[6] On July 1, 2016, the A-H-S-T district merged with the Walnut district to form the AHSTW Community School District.[3]
