The district's high school is Mount Mansfield Union High School, located in Jericho, which takes students graduating from both middle schools, and serves grades 9-12.
History
The predecessor districts were in the Chittenden East Supervisory Union (CESU), which was their umbrella organization. In a span of ten years the residents of the predecessor districts voted on whether to merge their school districts on five occasions.[4] The vote that day[specify] favored consolidation.[5] The district was established effective November 4, 2014.[6] The merged district began operations the following year.[5]
In 2011 there was a vote among the towns on whether to merge that did not pass. Another such vote was scheduled in 2014.[7] The district formed with the voluntary merger of the Bolton, Jericho, Richmond, and Underhill school districts.[4] When MMUUSD formed, Huntington residents already had representation as the community sent its secondary students there, but Huntington continued to have its own elementary school district.[8]
Residents of Huntington resisted merging for a longer time, with four unsuccessful votes on merging into MMUUSD. At one point the state of Vermont passed Act 46 that obligated school districts to merge.[4] The Huntington School District sued the state government to try to stop the merger.[9] In 2018 the Huntington district filed its third lawsuit against mergers.[10] On June 6, 2019,[11] the vote to merge Huntington into Mount Mansfield succeeded on a 450-191 basis; the Chittenden East Supervisory Union dissolved as a result.[4]
