The Grand Bend School District was established formally in June 1889, named for a community in Ontario. A one-room frame school building was erected later that year, at a cost of $600, on the northwest corner of 28-5-24 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Cameron. Enrollment never exceeded 17 students at a time. The school closed in 1946 when it was consolidated with Lauder School No. 779. The building was moved to a site one mile north. A monument unveiled in 1989 commemorates it.
