The United Community School District is a public school district headquartered in a rural area outside of Boone, Iowa. It is mainly in Boone County, with a smaller area in Story County, and serves the town of Luther and the surrounding rural areas between Boone and Ames.[2]

Dr. Pam Dodge, superintendent of Ogden Community School District, became superintendent through a shared agreement in 2020.[3] The previous superintendent, John Chalstrom, was placed on administrative leave in January 2020, after being arrested for drunken driving.[4]

Schools

The district operates two PK-6 schools, both on the same campus in rural Boone:[1]

Since 2009, students from United can attend secondary school in Ames or Boone.[5]
