Located in North Kildonan, this school was designed by Winnipeg architectural firm of Macdonald, Cockburn, and McFeetors. The concrete, steel frame, and masonry structure opened as part of the River East School Division and received students from the recently-closed New Rosewell School. Built at a cost of around $1,400,000, the school opened in the Fall of 1979.
