History[edit]
When the district was organized into its current form, ACSD had schools in two elementary schools in Anamosa and one each in Martelle, Morley and Viola,[citation needed] along with the middle school and high school in Anamosa. Morley closed in the 1960s followed by West Elementary in Anamosa (For many years called Anamosa Elementary) in 1982. Martelle closed in 1990 and reorganization took place with K-2 attending Strawberry Hill in Anamosa 3–4 at Viola, and 5–8 at the Middle School. Viola closed in 1998 moving K-4 back to Strawberry Hill along with 5th graders who moved over from the Middle School.[citation needed]
The District's Future[edit]
With West Middle School nearing 100 years old, a new middle school was built in 2012 on Old Dubuque road in Anamosa thus closing the West Middle School and beginning the start of Anamosa Middle School. The Ellen Kennedy Performing Arts Center opened spring of 2016.[citation needed]
