Located in Dominion City in what is now the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin, this educational facility was built for the Boundary School Division in 1972. Its name harkens back to the original local school district of Roseau School No. 45, first established in 1877, and later renamed as Dominion City School. Roseau Valley Collegiate opened to students attending grades four through twelve until 1986 when Dominion City Primary School, which hosted primary grades up to three, was closed with all local education then consolidated at this site. At that time, the school was renamed Roseau Valley School.
