History

It was established on July 1, 2005, by the merger of the Grand Community School District and the Southeast Webster Community School District.^[4]

In August 2014, the district began a whole grade-sharing arrangement with the Prairie Valley Community School District as a way to deal with smaller enrollments and as a way to save money. The two districts together share middle and high schools.^[5]

In March 2022 voters agreed to consolidate Southeast Webster-Grand with Prairie Valley to form Southeast Valley Community School District, effective fall 2023.^[6] On July 1, 2023, the merger occurred.^[7]
