The Starbuck Consolidated School District was organized in August 1909 as a result of consolidation of Holyrood School No. 391, Kinlough School No. 784, and Starbuck School No. 1150. The 10-acre school site bordering the Lasalle River in Starbuck, in the Rural Municipality of Macdonald, was purchased at a cost of $1,000. In 1910, a two-storey building, designed by Winnipeg architect Eldred Dodsworth Tuttle, was constructed of white bricks on a stone foundation. It featured four classrooms, two on each floor, as well as a laboratory, a room for “storage of chemical and physical apparatus,” and a library. Two playrooms were located in the basement, along with two lavatories, a forced-air furnace room, a coal storage room, and a storeroom. The total cost of construction was $17,000 acquired by the sale of old school property and the issue of debentures. It opened in mid-November 1910 under principal Andrew Moore.

Students were justifiably proud of their new school, as illustrated by excerpts from their school song:

Starbuck is up-to-date, she is sailing with the wind,
Progression is our watchword and our rule;
We are marching to success, while others lag behind,
For we’ve faith in our consolidated school.

Chorus:
Hark! Hark! Hark! The children marching!
Hear the rumble of the vans!
For from over hill and vale we can hear the children chant,
Praises for our good consolidated school.

Every morn the vans roll in, with the children fresh and trim
And unload their precious burdens at the door;
And with happy, smiling face, we can work all day with vim,
For we never fear the snowdrift any more.

(Sung to “Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching”)

Architectural plans for the school building are held at the Manitoba Museum. In 1925, a $2,400 debenture was issued to finance construction of a teacherage, along with a $3,600 debenture in 1927 to add a steam heating plant to the schoolhouse. The Starbuck School Board later constructed a separate, one-storey building nearby, demolished in April 1996, that was used as a high school, and later as a drop-in centre for seniors.
