The Elkhorn School District was established formally in February 1885, in Elkhorn in what is now the Rural Municipality of Wallace-Woodworth. A school building was erected and, as of 1982, it still stood and was being used as an insurance agency, having been sold in 1892 for the sum of $2,583. That same year, the first part of a stone building was built by Joseph Williamson, and in 1895, a second part was built by John Hume. The Principal was C. C. Stewart and, by 1901, the staff comprised four teachers.

With growing enrollment, the stone school proved too small so, in 1910, a two-storey, six-classroom brick school was constructed beside it on a design by Brandon architect W. A. Elliott. The new building opened later that year, under Principal George Cecil Speers. An official opening ceremony was held 28 March 1911. Prior to school consolidation, classes included students from York School District No. 1783 and Reaper School. An adjacent collegiate building was built in 1959.

In July 1964, the district became the Elkhorn Consolidated School District. The 1910-built facility closed and was demolished in 1976 as classes transferred to the expanded former collegiate structure. The district was dissolved in October 1971 when it joined the Fort la Bosse School Division.
