The Green Bay School District was established formally in May 1899 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW15-13-8E in the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead. By 1918, the local pupil count exceeded 60 students, peaking with over 70 students in 1919. Accordingly, a second classroom (by way of an additional one-room schoolhouse) was operated at the site, each with its own teacher. In January 1968, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Agassiz School Division. A commemorative sign remains at the former schoolhouse site.
