The history of education in the community of Steinbach dates to the Fall of 1875, with the construction of a thatched roof log schoolhouse near the southeast corner of what would become Main Street and Reimer Avenue. The private Mennonite School measured 14 feet by 20 feet and was located on the property of Klaas R. Reimer. Teachers’ quarters were provided in an adjacent annex.

The Steinbach School District was formally established in November 1878, and a two room, dual-use facility was built in 1880-1881, with one end serving as both a community hall / church, and the other end as a school. The teaching space measured 28 feet long, 24 feet wide, and 9 feet in height. This building was initially located within the SW35-6-6-E, though by the mid 1890s it was slightly relocated to NW35-6-6E.

On 28 October 1913, a replacement facility was opened officially by Deputy Minister of Education Robert Fletcher, J. A. Beattie, and School Inspector Andreas Weidenhammer. The new two-storey school building was steam-heated and featured four classrooms along with a basement and was completed at a cost of around $8,000. It was known informally as Kornelsen (sometimes spelled Kornelson) School, named in commemoration of teacher Gerhard Enns Kornelsen. It housed all grades until 1936 when a separate high school was constructed. With the opening of the collegiate, this site was also known as Steinbach School No. 1, and later as by as Central School as additional education facilities were built in the district.

The building was closed and demolished in 1964 and the Kornelsen name was transferred to the former high school, which became a junior high school. Later that same year, Steinbach's City Hall was built on the former site of the school.
