Named for early settler Hugh Polson, the original two-classroom Polson School was built in 1910 on a design by local architect Edward George Sherwood. The following year, it was expanded with a two-storey, two-classroom brick and stone extension. Four more classrooms were added in 1913 and a two-room annex was built in 1918. In February 1921, a fire at the school caused $7,000 in damage. While the structure was being repaired, students in undamaged classrooms continued classes while others were housed for a month at Lord Wolseley School.

The original building was situated across the street from the present Polson School building, erected in 1953 and named Munroe Elementary School. For seven years, from 1953 to 1960, both buildings were used for educational purposes. When an addition was made to Munroe School in 1960, the old building was closed as a school and Munroe School was renamed Polson School, to avoid confusion with the Munroe Junior High School nearby, built in 1958. The old school building was used for a time by the maintenance department of the local school division then it was sold and demolished. It is now the site of a church.
