This one-storey, seven-classroom school building at Belmont, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Prairie Lakes, was constructed between 1959 and 1960 to alleviate overcrowding in the old structure nearby. It was opened officially on 21 September 1960 at a ceremony attended by MLA John Thompson, school inspectors Robert William Lightly and William Stanley Lockhart, architect Ian McKenzie Brown, and contractor Gunnar Peterson.
Closed in June 2002, the school building was vacant at the time of a 2019 site visit.
