Centennial Celebration

In September 1915, the residents of several local K-8 school districts voted to consolidate and build a high school. The first meeting of the school board of the new consolidated district was Oct. 11, 1915. The board immediately went to work to design and build the first high school in downtown Mound at the current location of Mound Marketplace. Mound Consolidated High School opened in September 1917 and graduated its first class in the spring of 1918.
Westonka History Lessons from Dr. Pam Myers
October 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the forming of a consolidated school district in the area we now know as Westonka. In celebration of Westonka's centennial, Dr. Pamela Myers of the Westonka Historical Society, also former superintendent of Westonka Public Schools, organized a series of school board presentations on the early history of the school district. Summaries of each presentation can be found below.
