Built for the Old Kildonan School District No. 2102, this school was located in the Municipality of Old Kildonan along the western side of McPhillips Street, north of Templeton Avenue, within the Outer Two Miles of Lot 20 in the Parish of Kildonan. It was commissioned as part of a $48,000 school bylaw which, following approval of local voters in May 1957, called for the construction of a two-room school at this site as well as a two-room expansion to Red River School. The school was designed by the architectural firm of Prain and Ward and completed in 1958, in part as capacity replacement for Lloyd George School. The structure was of wooden frame structure, with brick and stucco exterior.
After closing in June 1975, the two-room school building was repurposed as a childrens nursery. It opened in Fall 1975 and operated for several years until the grounds were repurposed by the Seven Oaks School Division for a maintenance, transportation, and custodial service centre. As of 2018, the Division had relocated those services to a new building in West St. Paul and put this building and property up for sale. The building was demolished in the Fall of 2020 to make way for an automobile dealership.
