High school classes were originally held in the Virden Public School building. Eventually, a separate building was constructed by the Virden Consolidated School District at a site on the south side of town along highway 257. In 1959, it was purchased from the school district by the Fort La Bosse School Division and formed the basis of the Virden Collegiate Institute. The building was later demolished and replaced by a gymnasium.
