The St. Claude School District was established in December 1898 and a two-storey wood frame schoolhouse operated in St. Claude. In 1960, it became St. Claude Consolidated School when it was consolidated with St. Benoit School No. 1315, Barron School No. 1930, and Louvain School No. 2083. The school building is no longer present at the site.
