The Roseau School District was established formally in March 1877 and a school building operated in Dominion City in what is now the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin. In either late 1897 or during 1898, the district was renamed as Dominion City School District.
In 1901, a two-storey, four-classroom wood frame schoolhouse was built at the site. It became part of the Dominion City Consolidated School No. 45 in 1913, consolidating with Whitby School No. 1421, Erin School No. 385, and part of Bow Park School No. 166.
By 1914, the school building was considered unsafe so, in March 1916, a $20,000 debenture was issued to finance a new schoolhouse. The new two-storey, six-classroom brick structure was erected at a cost of $18,456 and the old building was sold. As student enrollment increased through the years, additional space was added, including a sixth classroom in 1946 and a two-room annex (which measured 30 feet by 74 feet) in 1948. Electrical service was added in 1935. Once the new Dominion City School was opened in 1956, the 1948-built two-room annex was put up for sale and removal from the site. The 1916-built structure was utilized until December 1965 when it was condemned as a fire hazard and was later demolished. From January though June of 1966, classroom space for grades 9-12 held in the basement of the Dominion City United Church. Collegiate grades were then transferred to Emerson Collegiate 1966 to 1972 before returning to Dominion City with the opening of the Roseau Valley Collegiate (RVC).
Located at the same site, and since converted into part of the local arena, the new Dominion City School / Dominion City Elementary School was a five-classroom facility designed by the Winnipeg architectural firm of Smith Carter and Katelnikoff and built in 1956 at a cost of $40,000. It opened to students that autumn. Dominion City Elementary School operated within the Boundary School Division and became Dominion City Primary School in 1972, with grades four through twelve shifted to RVC. Dominion City Primary School operated until the summer of 1986 when all local education was consolidated at RVC, then renamed as Roseau Valley School.
