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.[25] Shortly thereafter, Carl Gaumer replaced him and served until 1950.[26]
Harry Raumbaugh, who taught in Hull,[27] was the principal and later superintendent of Boyden Public Schools.[28][29] After the end of his World War I military service, Scott Crosswait served as superintendent of Boyden Public School for three years.[30] W. E. Sturdevant was superintendent for the 1921–22 school year.[31] Sturdevant's successor Henry Hoeven was elected to several terms as superintendent,[32][33] then replaced by James Hoeven,[34] who resigned in 1929.[35][36] James Hoeven was replaced by R. B. Edwards in a March 1929 vote of the Boyden school board.[36] Elmer[37] Lack moved to Boyden in 1932, after he was elected superintendent of schools.[38][39][40] Lack remained in the post until 1938,[41] when Fred Brusha was selected.[42] John Brouwer served as Boyden's superintendent between 1942 and 1947.[25][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]
