Center-Stanton Public School District 1

Center-Stanton Public School District 1 is a school district headquartered in Center, North Dakota.

It is partly in Oliver County, including Center,[1] and partly in Mercer County, including Stanton.[2]

The district formed in July 2004 from the merger of the Center and Stanton school districts. Center district voters approved the merger on a 216-47 basis while Stanton voters approved the merger on a 213-13 basis. As a result of the merger Stanton High School immediately closed, and the district planned to keep Stanton Elementary open until at least the 2006-2007 school year. Both schools in Center remained open.[3]

The Stanton school, which opened circa 1883, had 16 students in 2008. It closed that year and the district now has Center as its only school.[4]
