The district serves the entire county except for those served by the Dyersburg City Schools District. The district includes a few outerlying parts of Dyersburg as well as the town of Newbern and the Dyer County portion of Trimble. It also includes the census-designated places of Bogota, Finley, Fowlkes, Lenox, and Miston.[2]
Reportedly, the first school in Dyer County was started at Key Corner (now in Lauderdale County) in 1825 by Edith Kenley. The same year, Dr. Thomas Nash opened a school southeast of modern day Dyersburg. In 1884, Newbern and Trimble, Tennessee both had schools established.[3]
