Boyden–Hull Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Hull, Iowa.[2]

Most of the district is in Sioux County while a portion is in Lyon County and serves the cities of Boyden and Hull, and the surrounding rural area.[3]

It operates Boyden–Hull Elementary School in Boyden,[4] and Boyden–Hull Junior/High School in Hull, which houses the district's headquarters.[5]

History

The first students graduated from Hull High School, within the Hull Public School system, in 1891.[6] In 1915, John Torrance McRuer was reelected superintendent of Hull Public Schools.[7] The institution offered kindergarten and primary school, as well.[8] A successor of McRuer's, F. J. Stamper, took on the role,[9] [10] then was replaced by W. A. May for the 1924–1925 school year.[11] Stamper returned in 1925,[12] and resigned in 1926 due to illness.[13] [14] Stamper's duties were assumed by Leslie Walpole.[15] Stamper returned to his post in September 1929 and died in December.[16] [17] T. F. Strayer then became superintendent,[18] followed by W. A. May, before Robert Gosselink assumed the role in 1932.[19] Gosselink remained through the 1930s[20] [21] and into the 1940s.[22] [23] [24] B. G. Tye was elected Hull's superintendent in 1947. Shortly thereafter, Carl Gaumer replaced him and served until 1950.[25]

Harry Raumbaugh, who taught in Hull,[26] was the principal and later superintendent of Boyden Public Schools.[27] [28] After the end of his World War I military service, Scott Crosswait served as superintendent of Boyden Public School for three years.[29] W. E. Sturdevant was superintendent for the 1921–22 school year.[30] Sturdevant's successor Henry Hoeven was elected to several terms as superintendent,[31] [32] then replaced by James Hoeven,[33] who resigned in 1929.[34] James Hoeven was replaced by R. B. Edwards in a March 1929 vote of the Boyden school board.[35] Elmer[36] Lack moved to Boyden in 1932, after he was elected superintendent of schools.[37] [38] [39] Lack remained in the post until 1938,[40] when Fred Brusha was selected.[41] John Brouwer served as Boyden's superintendent between 1942 and 1947.[42] [43] G. J. Vanden Berg succeeded Brouwer,[44] and served through 1952.[45] In 1953, Earl Hall was elected superintendent of Boyden Public School.[46] After Hall resigned the position in June 1957,[47] Dale Moen assumed the duties.[48]

The merged Boyden–Hull School District was approved in a December 1958 vote of the Sioux County board of education.[49] [50] At time of the merger, Sioux County superintendent of schools was W. K. Price.[50] [51] The first school board election as a consolidated school district took place in March 1959.[52] Boyden and Hull remained separate school districts until July 1, 1959.[53]

A. R. Hesla, who became superintendent of Hull Public School in 1950,[54] [55] [56] remained in that role through the merger into Boyden–Hull Community School District, and resigned the position in 1973.[57] Dave Curry was superintendent of schools between 1974 and 1976.[58] [59] A merger with George Community School District was discussed throughout 1976.[60] [61] Craig Anderson replaced Curry at the end of the 1975–1976 school year[59] [62] and served through the 1990s.[63] Anderson was succeeded by Dennis Ohde who served from 2000 to 2004.[64] [65] Steve Grond was named superintendent in 2005.[66] From the 2020–21 school year, Grond concurrently served as superintendent of West Sioux Community School District.[67] [68]
