The Champlain School District was organized formally in March 1901 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW22-22-15W in what is now the Municipality of Ste. Rose. The district was dissolved in 1960 and its catchment area became part of the Laurier Consolidated School District.
Among the teachers of Champlain School were Paul Emile Peloquin (1955-1956) and Clementine Peeters (1957-1958).
