History

The district was established in 1931, with the only building being what is now Dogwood Elementary School. The school was formed by consolidating the existing schools of New Home, Ha Ha Tonka, Decaturville, Drake, Myetta, and Forest Gove. In 1951, Montreal C-1, Freedom No. 41, Lone Star No. 62 and Snyder No. 42 voted to annex to Camdenton-RIII. In 1953, the Hurricane Deck building was constructed. A new elementary building and a football field were built in 1958. A new high school was built in 1965. In 1969, a new middle school was built on the location of the former football field, with a new football field being built behind it. In 1979, the Lake Career and Technical Center was built.[13] In 2007, following the construction of a new high school, the district was reorganized. The former upper elementary building became Oak Ridge Intermediate School, the former middle school became Hawthorn Elementary School, and the former high school became the middle school.
