English Valleys Community School District
The English Valleys School District – sometimes abbreviated "EV" – is a public school district in Iowa County, Iowa. Based in North English, the district spans areas of southern Iowa, southeastern Poweshiek and northern Keokuk counties, encompassing the communities of North English, Millersburg, Deep River, South English and Kinross.
The district's elementary and junior-senior high school campuses are located in North English, with administrative offices located at the elementary building. The district is governed by a five-member board of directors, with all board members voted at-large and meeting monthly.
The school district is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Iowa Department of Education.
The English Valleys School District formed in 1958, the result of the merger of several school districts in southern Iowa and northern Keokuk counties: North English, South English, Kinross and Webster. The Deep River-Millersburg School District began a whole-grade sharing program with English Valleys in 1992, sending its junior and senior high school students to English Valleys Junior-Senior High School, while maintaining its elementary school in Millersburg. Deep River-Millersburg, which had been based in Millersburg, consolidated with English Valleys in 2009, with the elementary building closed and students sent to North English.
Athletic teams are known as the Bears, with teams participating in 13 sports in the South Iowa Cedar League.
