By 1909, overcrowding at Minnedosa’s “South School” necessitated the construction of a second school at this location. Built at a cost of $17,230 on a design by Winnipeg architect William Wallace Blair, it was used as an elementary and high school until 1954, when the Crossley Collegiate Institute (precursor of today’s Minnedosa Collegiate) was built nearby. The building was demolished in 1971. A commemorative monument was erected at the site in July 1993.

Noteworthy graduates of the North School include William Harold Fishman.
