A Rich History of Learning

In the heart of Webb City, where tradition meets progress, the Webb City School District has been shaping young minds and bringing our community together since 1877.

Prior to the establishment of the Webb City Reorganized School District in 1968, area youth who lived outside the Webb City School District were educated in numerous one-room rural school districts and in high school districts in incorporated communities nearby. Over the years, consolidation and reorganization plans were initiated with the goal of providing better quality educational programs in a more efficient manner. In September 1968, the final reorganization took place when the Carterville School District voted, as had Alba in 1967, to become part of the Jasper County Reorganized School District R-VII, to be known and referred to as the Webb City R-7 School District.
