History

In 1964, the district began gradually desegregating following the Brown v. Board of Education decision. The 1970-1971 school year was the first with fully integrated classes at Schofield Middle School and Aiken High School.
In 2019 the district's population was increasing. In 2018 the district held a referendum to enact a bond to build new schools, and the referendum was approved. As a result, the district planned to build and/or renovate 15 schools.
King Laurence was superintendent until the end of the 2023–2024 school year. Laurence had retired from his career. Corey Murphy became the new superintendent starting the 2024–2025 school year. The handover occurred on July 1, 2024.
