The Dugald Consolidated School District No. 2427 was established in January 1964 and a large new school built in Dugald that year. Classes began here in fall 1964 and the school was officially opened on 12 March 1965 by Dr. Roy Tavener, a former pupil of Dugald School. The district became part of the Transcona-Springfield School Division in 1967. In 2001, it was incorporated into the newly established Sunrise School Division. As at 2017, the school operates as Ecole Dugald School, a dual track English/French facility. A bronze plaque within the building commemorates Robert Barry Findlater, the school’s first Principal.
