The present Machray School is the fourth structure to bear this name on this site, at the intersection of Charles Street and Mountain Avenue. The original one-room school, named for cleric Robert Machray, was designed by Winnipeg architect James Chisholm and constructed in 1886.

Enlarged with two more classrooms in 1891, the school was replaced in 1899 with a ten-classroom design by Henry Sandham Griffith, with classes beginning in the new building in 1900. A 14-room addition was made to it in 1913. This second building was replaced in 1921 by one designed by local architect James Bertram Mitchell. It was later demolished and replaced by the present building.

In January 1961, intermediate students were transferred to a newly constructed addition on St. John’s High School.
