The Podolia School District was established in December 1901 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW18-27-19W in the Rural Municipality of Dauphin. In 1965, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Sifton School District No. 1009.
Among the teachers of Podolia School was Theodore Humeniuk (1954-1956).
