The Zbruch School District was established formally in April 1909 and a school building operated on the southeast quarter of 20-18-2 east of the Principal Meridian in the Rural Municipality of Armstrong. The original building was later replaced by the present structure. The school closed in 1967 and the building is now used as a community centre.
