The first school in this area of what is now the Rural Municipality of Montcalm was operated as of 1877 in a local resident’s home. Three years later, a small schoolhouse made of logs was built and, in May 1897, Les Deux Petites Pointes [Two Little Points] School District was established formally.
Among the teachers of Two Little Points School were Miss Malvina Graveline (1877), Eugene Beland (1882), Miss Fifi, Imelda Berard, Yvonne Desautels, Antoinette Robert, Denise Ayotte, Lorraine Riel, Therese Sabourin, and Blanche Barnabe.
The district was dissolved in 1959 and its catchment area became part of the Inverness Consolidated School District. The school building was moved away although some concrete rubble of what may have been the school’s foundation was present at the time of a 2023 site visit.
