This one-storey red brick structure was constructed in 1920 for the East Kildonan School District No. 14, named after Prince Edward who later became King Edward VIII. On its back side were separate entrances for girls and boys, although the latter has been covered by a later addition to the building. The single-storey, red brick structure had eight classrooms (later expanded to 18) and a dedicated nurse’s room, the first school in the province to do so, and purportedly the first on the continent. The building was completed and furnished at a cost of around $60,000 and had capacity for 300 students.
Prince Edward School was opened officially on 20 October 1920 by Minister of Education Robert Stirton Thornton at a ceremony also attended by Provincial Secretary James William Armstrong, School Board Chairman Hugh McNair, Reverend Hugh John Robertson of John Black Memorial Presbyterian Church, and Reverend J. A. Shirley of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church. Until the opening of the school, students from the area were distributed between other nearby schools: Polson School (Grades 1-3), Lord Wolseley School (Grade 4 in the auditorium, Grade 6 in the basement), and Lord Kitchener School (Grade 5). Classes in the new building began on 21 October 1920.
The school has since become part of the River East School Division (now the River East Transcona School Division No. 9).
