The Larcombe School District was organized formally in April 1914 and a one-room schoolhouse, known locally as the Stewart Lake School, operated at the northeast corner of SE22-24-5W in the Rural Municipality of Woodlea, in what later became the Rural Municipality of Grahamdale. In 1936, the district became part of the Woodlea Municipal School District. Only a stone foundation for the former school building is present at the site.
