Palmer Bus has been serving the Nashwauk-Keewatin community by safely transporting students since 2024. We safely transport around 580 students each day in Nashwauk-Keewatin. Nashwauk-Keewatin School District #319 consists of Pre K through 12th grade. It serves Itasca county.
Nashwauk and Keewatin are about 197 miles North of the Twin Cities. Until 1963, Nashwauk and Keewatin were 2 separate school districts. They consisted of the Keewatin Tigers, who donned school colors of black and orange, and the Nashwauk Colts, who wore blue and white. The schools merged in 1962/1963 becoming the Nashwauk-Keewatin Spartans and chose the Orange from Keewatin and the Blue from Nashwauk to become ONE in Orange and Blue.
