Built in 1922 in the Glenlawn School District No. 1499, as a result of overwhelming support by local voters, Windsor School was rushed to completion to meet growing enrollment demands. Also known as “Windsor Park School” in the early years, and sometimes confused with other “Windsor Park schools” in the surrounding Windsor Park neighbourhood, the school’s scheduled opening in early September 1922 was delayed a few weeks while the sewer line was being extended and connected to the school. The five-room facility featured four classrooms and a large assembly hall that could be divided into two classrooms, yielding capacity for 50 more students. Designed with expansion in mind, the foundation on which the school was build was ready to receive a further nine classrooms.

In 1934, work began on a five-room 60 x 60 foot addition built by the general contractor firm of Claydon & Company. It was completed by 1935 at a cost of around $15,000. Based on designs of Winnipeg-based architectural firm Smith Carter Katelnikoff Architects, three classrooms were converted into a large auditorium in 1954, which would later be named in honour of long-time Principal John Dean Finlay. Other additions and alterations to the building were made in 1957, 1960, 1968, and 1974. The school later became part of the St. Vital School Division and, still later, the Louis Riel School Division.
