In 2007, East Selkirk Middle School at East Selkirk, in the Rural Municipality of St. Clements, was constructed by the Lord Selkirk School Division to address overcrowding in the nearby Happy Thought School. The building was designed by Winnipeg architects MCM Architecture inc. and constructed by Red Lake Construction Company. As of 2019, 309 students attend the school, making it the third-largest junior high in the Selkirk area, after Lockport School, and Ecole Selkirk Junior High. It is one of few schools in Manitoba to offer a band program to children in grades 5 and 6.
