Nishnabotna High School

Nishnabotna Junior-Senior High School was a secondary school in Farragut, Iowa. It was operated by the Farragut Community School District in association with the Hamburg Community School District. The school served the communities of Farragut, Imogene, and Riverton in the Farragut district and Hamburg in the Hamburg district.[1] Its mascot was the blue devil. It opened in 2011 and closed in 2016.

Its nickname was "Nish".[2] It had about 120 students prior to its closure.[3] From 2011 the Farragut and Hamburg districts jointly used the name Nishnabotna Community School District, although the district never legally existed, as a vote to formally create it failed, and the Farragut district was dissolved by the State of Iowa in 2016.
