Centerpoint School District

The Amity School District merged with the Glenwood School District to form the Centerpoint district on July 1, 1995. Curtis Turner, Jr. served as the district's first superintendent. Initially upon consolidation, Glenwood and Amity kept active campuses with each school serving its own students in grades kindergarten through sixth. Under the direction of superintendent Lewis Diggs, those campuses were later reconfigured. Centerpoint High School opened in 1997. Glenwood Elementary School converted to a pre-K through third grade primary school campus serving all Centerpoint students in those grade levels regardless of their address. David Combs served as principal. Amity Elementary School was converted to a fourth through fifth grade intermediate school campus with former Bismarck School District superintendent Rodney Whitfield serving as principal. Also at the time of this reconfiguration, the high school building was expanded to include sixth grade students. ==District boundaries==
