At that time, the high school and elementary school was located in Sandstone and the middle school was in Askov. In 2004, East Central opened its doors to a new facility, a K-12 building, located between Sandstone and Askov. This building houses the elementary school, secondary school, and the district office.

WILLOW RIVER PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT
Willow River is located 1 hour south of Duluth and 1 1/2 hours north of the Twin Cities along I-35. Our schools focus on setting high standards for students' success in academics, athletics, and community service. We work to accomplish this through providing opportunities for students to learn ideas, lessons, and technology skills that will help them to become better citizens and workers, from Kindergarten through graduation. Because of these opportunities we have become an area leader and are experiencing increasing enrollment from students and families that want a small school atmosphere with a larger school's advantages. Willow River Public Schools is committed to providing the highest quality education to all who enter. Our communities and schools strive to provide a safe, healthy, nurturing, and productive learning environment.
