History

The school district was established in 1854.^{[citation needed]}

Beginning in the 2015–2016 school year, the Webster City district entered into a whole grade sharing arrangement with the Northeast Hamilton Community School District in which the latter sent secondary students to Webster City.^[5] This was done to address an enrollment decrease in Northeast Hamilton. In 2018, the two districts decided to hold an election on whether they should merge.^[6] On Tuesday, April 3 the election was held, with 94% of the Northeast Hamilton voters and 99% of Webster City district voters favoring consolidation.^[7] On July 1, 2019, the Northeast Hamilton district merged into the Webster City district.^[8]

In 2015-16, it expanded with an 11 million dollar bond issue for the construction of the new competition gymnasium.
