The Grandview School District was established in March 1893 and, in 1906, a two-storey brick schoolhouse designed by Winnipeg architect Frank Robert Evans was built. Initially containing four classrooms, an additional four classrooms were added to the right of its main entrance in 1920.
The school later became Grandview School No. 1065 then Grandview Consolidated School No. 2447 in 1967. It eventually became part of the Intermountain School Division.
