George–Little Rock Community School District (G-LR) is a rural public school district headquartered at George–Little Rock Senior High School in George, Iowa.[2] The district is mostly in Lyon County, with sections in Osceola and Sioux counties. In addition to George, it serves Little Rock.[3]

History

The district formed on July 1, 2003, by the merger of the George and Little Rock school districts.[4]

Steve Barber, formerly principal of Spencer Middle School in the Spencer Community School District,[5] began serving as superintendent of G-LR in 2013.[6] In 2017 he moved to the Atlantic Community School District.[7] John Eyerly, formerly of the Westfield Community School District, replaced him on July 1, 2017. Eyerly resigned in 2019.[8] Tom Luxford began serving his tenure as superintendent in the 2020–21 school year, succeeding interim superintendent Pat O’Donnell.[9]
