The Carman School District was formally established in June 1884 in the Town of Carman. The original school building, measuring 18 feet by 24 feet, was situated on Fournier Avenue in the south end of town. By 1890, the school was overcrowded so the School Board purchased 16 lots along the west side of Villard Avenue and built a two-storey frame school building there. In 1901, an additional four-room building was added to the site.
The school burned down on 10 October 1901 so the next year, a white-brick replacement was designed by Winnipeg architect Charles Henry Wheeler and built facing Third Avenue SW by the Brandon firm of Harrington and Newte, at a cost of about $26,000. It featured four classrooms on each of two main floors, and an assembly hall in the third floor attic. The school was opened officially in December 1902. At least three debentures were issued by the district, for $22,000 in January 1922, for $25,000 in June 1928 (for a four-classroom addition), and $18,000 in December 1925.
In 1951, a one-storey elementary school building was constructed beside the brick school and make up of eight rooms with tin roofing. In January 1955, the district became Carman Consolidated School with its consolidation with a pair of rural schools: Central School No. 944 and Ostrander School No. 113. The brick school was demolished in 1961 upon being replaced with Carman Collegiate, even though it was still determined to be structurally sound, while the single-storey elementary buildings remained until later in the 1960s.
In 1963, a new elementary school was built upon the designs of Ward and Macdonald. It featured a 14-classroom equivalent facility, with 5 additional temporary classrooms added in 1967.
