This four-classroom school in the Charleswood area of Winnipeg was commissioned by the Charleswood Consolidated School District No. 2327 upon designs by the local architectural firm of Prain and Ward. Prior to its construction in 1952, primary grades for the immediate commmunity were held nearby at the Roblin Park School. Capacity here was expanded to include classrooms for junior high students in 1956 and it became part of the Assiniboine South School Division in 1966. Around 2000, a commemorative monument was established (at 49.85589, -97.28300) on the school grounds.
