Mormon Trail Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Humeston, Iowa. It operates Mormon Trail Elementary and Mormon Trail Junior/Senior High School.
It covers sections of Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, and Wayne counties. Communities in its service area include Humeston, Derby, Garden Grove, and Le Roy.
History
The district was formed in 1959 as a consolidation of schools in Garden Grove, Humeston, and LeRoy.
The school's mascot is the Saints. Their colors are gold and black.
During the 1980s, the districts facilities began to draw scrutiny from the state department of education as well as the fire marshall. Neither school was ADA compliant, and the 1907 elementary school in Humeston had ventilation, fire code, and electrical violations. In 1996 voters passed a bond issue to build a new elementary school in humeston. The 1907 building was razed.
By 2022 the Garden Grove school was beginning to show its age with many of the same issues that the Humeston building had. Voters again approved a bond issue that same year for a Jr/Sr High School addition to the elementary school in Humeston. Students occupied the end facility for the first time in the fall of 2023.
