Named for British military commander Garnet J. Wolseley, the Lord Wolseley School building was designed by architect John Danley Atchison and constructed in 1915 with six classrooms, at the same time as Salisbury School and Lord Kitchener School.
Secondary education in the East Kildonan area began in 1921 when the Winnipeg School District advised the local school board that it was not longer able to accept secondary students. For a year, classes were held in the Prince Edward School, which had opened in the fall of 1920. By the fall of 1927, overcrowding caused the classes to be relocated into Lord Wolseley School, where they remained until 1952, when the Miles Macdonell Collegiate building was constructed at its present location.
In October 1953, the school inaugurated the first school zone speed sign in Manitoba at the corner of Henderson Highway at Leighton Avenue.
