The Braddock School District was organized formally in July 1925, and a school building operated on the northeast quarter of 30-18-22 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Rural Municipality of Yellowhead. It closed in 1962 and was moved a half kilometer northwest to its present site. A commemorative monument has been erected on the former school grounds while the former schoolhouse stood vacant at N50.57891, W100.48965 at the time of a July 2012 site visit.
