The Viborg and Hurley school districts consolidated in 2013. [3]
In August 2009 the Hurley and Viborg districts, then separate, had 117 and 249 students, respectively. [4] At that time they had the same man as superintendent, Pat Kraning. He stated: "We need to figure a way to grow together, or (we) die separately." [5] The two districts had combined athletic programs, and several employees of each worked for the other district. [4]
By 2011 the two districts voted to merge. 92% of the voters in the Hurley district and 64% of the voters in the Viborg district approved the referendum to merge. July 1, 2012 was the scheduled date of the schools consolidating. [6]
Kraning resigned from his two superintendent positions in 2011. [7] The Hurley and Viborg high schools consolidated in 2012 with a common location in Viborg. The combined middle school started in Hurley and the combined elementary school started in Viborg. [8]
