The St. Michel School District was established in June 1930 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE8-6-10W in what is now the Municipality of Lorne. In 1962, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Swan Lake Consolidated School District and later the Mountain School Division.
