The spelling "Sentral" was deliberately adopted to be a reference to "Seneca" and to differentiate itself from various other school systems using the word "Central". As of 2004 the district had around 300 students. Their mascot was known as the "Spartans" and before that the "Satellites"."[https://web.archive.org/web/20040410052302/http://www.sentral.k12.ia.us:80/history/history.html History]."

History
Initially the district had separate K-12 schools in Fenton, Lone Rock and Seneca. The Satellite mascot for the consolidated secondary school was chosen in 1957 and the school itself first opened on land between Fenton and Lone Rock in 1959.
In 2008, the Sentral district began a grade-sharing arrangement with the North Kossuth Community School District,{{cite web|url=http://www.fairmontsentinel.com/news/local-news/2013/06/26/northern-iowa-voters-ok-school-merger/|title=Northern Iowa voters OK school merger|work=Fairmont Sentinel|date=2013-06-26|accessdate=2018-07-15}} resulting in a new North Sentral Kossuth High School in Swea City."[https://web.archive.org/web/20100421011126/http://sentralschools.org:80/vnews/display.v/SEC/High%20School High School]."
