Tremont School District was formally established in May 1901. The original school building was moved in 1915 to the southwest corner of NW8-6-2W in the Rural Municipality of Morris. It was later moved to NW5-6-2W. A new school building was constructed in 1937. It operated until July 1964 when its students began to be bussed to Sperling Consolidated School. The building was sold and moved away. A commemorative monument was dedicated on 7 August 1994.
