| HISTORY/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | The Sisters of the Assumption arrived at Delmas in 1900 and the construction of their Indian school was completed in 1901. Towards the end of this first year, there were 120 boarders at the school. In September 1902 the Sisters of the Assumption opened a day-school for the non-Native population, in addition to running the Indian Boarding School. In 1907 the Sisters admitted non-Native children into this boarding school. In 1911 a school Board was formed and the day-school became public. The year 1948 marked the end of the boarding school: a fire destroyed the boarding school and most of the archival records kept in the building. The public school continued to be operated under the requirements of the Government of Saskatchewan. The Sisters left Delmas in 1969. |
