The Angus School District was organized formally in February 1909 and a school building was erected at Angusville in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. The original building measured 26 feet wide by 32 feet long. In September 1919, debentures worth $1,800 were issued to finance an addition to the original school building, followed with a further $6,000 debenture in August 1923 to expand the school, and a further $2,000 debenture in March 1924 to help pay off existing debts.
The enlarged building was later replaced by a new structure in 1953. In 1968, it became part of the Pelly Trail School Division. Also known informally as Angusville School, the name appears to have been more formally changed from Angus to Angusville during the latter 1960s. It operated until closing in the summer of 1979.
The building, apparently vacant in more recent years, was either removed from the site or demolished some time between 2012 and 2017.
