History
The origins were when a sports cooperative group was formed in Spring 2018 by Clearwater Public Schools, Ewing Public Schools, and Orchard Public Schools; the group had cooperative sports teams for the three schools. Clearwater and Orchard had previously been in a merged school district but later had separated into their own districts.[
The school district was established on June 5, 2020 by the merger of Clearwater, Ewing, and Orchard districts. The merged district initially kept the three separate schools open on a temporary basis.
The district's voters, in November 2019, voted in favor of a bond to build a consolidated school. The Clearwater voters approved on a 332-103 basis, Ewing voters approved on a 360-38 basis, and Orchard approved on a 289-230 basis.][ The Ewing, then Clearwater, and then Orchard results were announced.
The bond has a cost of $34.3 million. Construction began in Spring 2020, and the school opened on October 2021. That month the student count was 417.]
