History
editIn 1980 the Newton County School District dissolved, with a portion going to the Kingston district.[3]
On July 1, 2004, the Kingston district, along with the Oark School District, merged into the Jasper School District.[4] Kingston could have consolidated with the Clarksville School District and Huntsville School District, which were geographically closer, but the district administration instead chose to consolidate with the Jasper district.[5]
