In early 1908, the Winnipeg School Board began operating McPhillips Street School, which remained operational into 1910. Enrollment ranged between 60-80 pupils. The location of this first school quarters is not yet known. Its operational status from fall 1910 to fall 1911 is likewise unknown.

Around August 1911, a plot of land with 76 feet of frontage along McPhillips Street and 108 feet of frontage along Aberdeer Avenue was purchased for the construction of a two-storey, four-classroom school, at the northeast corner of McPhillips and Aberdeen. Also known as the McPhillips Street School, it was opened to students by spring 1912 and was later renamed Lord Nelson School in commemoration of British naval admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805).

The growth of the surrounding area was such that Lord Nelson School No. 1 was quickly overcrowded so the School Board purchased an entire lot across the street from the original site. In 1917, it erected a brick, two-storey, six-room Lord Nelson School No. 2, the first part of what was anticipated to eventually become a 24-classroom structure. Designed by local architect John Danley Atchison and located about 200 feet east of the original building, its cornerstone was laid at a ceremony on 19 October 1917 attended by Premier Tobias Crawford Norris and Navy League (Winnipeg Branch) President William Rae Allan.

By 1922, when four more rooms were built, enrollment at the school was around 550 students. Seven classrooms were added in 1949 and, in 1958, a one-storey annex of eight rooms was built.
