A plaque and monument commemorates Stockton School No. 354, established formally on 11 November 1884 in Township 6, Range 15 West of the Prime Meridian in what is now Municipality of Glenboro-South Cypress. The original schoolhouse burned in Fall 1886, the blaze also consuming the earliest of records for the district held inside the building. In June 1914, it consolidated with Millford School No. 237 and Oak Creek School No. 254 into Stockton Consolidated School No. 1748.
In the summer of 1914, the newly consolidated district issued a $12,000 debenture to fund for the construction of a new schoolhouse at NW 21-7-15. In October 1917, the new Stockton Consolidated School was opened by the Minister of Education, Robert Stirton Thornton. The school was destroyed by fire on 20 February 1941 and a new one was built and opened later that year.
In December 1959, the high school section was moved to Glenboro. The Stockton Consolidated School District became a Closed School during the summer of 1967 and, on 1 January 1968, the district absorbed into the Consolidated Glenboro School District No. 2367. The consolidated school building was next moved to Glenboro as part of the Tiger Hills School Division and students bused there for classes. After a new school building was constructed, the former Stockton School building was renovated into residential space known as Stockton Apartments.
The school plaque at Stockton was donated by Henry Irvine Graham who attended Stockton School from 1914 to 1919.
