History



Cassi Murra served as superintendent until she moved to be superintendent of the Knoxville Community School District in 2014. Jerry Schutz began serving as superintendent that year.
Neil Mullen originally was to begin his role as superintendent on July 1, 2018. However, Mullen began on March 1 because Schutz later took another job that began before July 1.
By February 20, 2019, the Grundy Center district was looking for another superintendent. Rob Hughes was scheduled to begin his role as superintendent of both Grundy Center CSD and of Aplington–Parkersburg Community School District effective July 1, 2019. In March 2021, Hughes resigned from his position as a shared superintendent and became a full-time superintendent for Grundy Center.
