The Grimsby School District was established in February 1920. A one-room schoolhouse operated at SW24-2-3W in the Rural Municipality of Rhineland. In 1970, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Plum Coulee Consolidated School District and later the Rhineland School Division.
Among the teachers who worked at Grimsby School through the years was Gus Pokrant.
