The Green Bay School District was established formally in May 1899 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW15-13-8E in the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead. At one point, a second one-room schoolhouse operated at the site, each with its own teacher. In January 1968, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Agassiz School Division. A commemorative sign remains at the former schoolhouse site.
