Wayne Community School District or Wayne Community Schools (WCS) is a rural public school district headquartered in Corydon, Iowa. It operates Wayne Elementary School and Wayne Junior/Senior High School.
The district is mostly in Wayne County with small sections in Decatur and Lucas counties. Communities in its service area include Corydon, Allerton, Clio, Lineville, and Millerton.[2]
In 1959, the Cambria and Corydon school districts merged to form the Cambria–Corydon Community School District. The Wayne Community School District was formed in 1966 with the merger of the Cambria–Corydon Community School District with the Millerton School District and the former Allerton School District that had for a time been a part of the Allerton–Clio–Lineville (ACL) District. ACL then became the Lineville–Clio Community School District. After the 2008 dissolution of the Russell Community School District, the district absorbed some of the former students of the Russell District.[3] The Lineville–Clio Community School District merged into Wayne on July 1, 2011.[4]
The Falcons compete in the Pride of Iowa Conference in the following sports:[5]
