St Michael’s School began as a Catholic kindergarten, operated by the Sisters of St Joseph of Peace in St Anthony’s Parish Hall. On March 11, 1949, a planning committee met to explore establishing a full-fledged school. The late Kevin Molloy has been recognized as the driving force behind the project. St Michael’s School opened in 1953, staffed by the Sisters of St Joseph. At that time, the school had four classrooms and 105 pupils, from Kindergarten to Grade 4.

There are eight classrooms, a library, and a computer lab in the original facility. In April 1988, an extension to the building opened. This extension includes a seminar room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large gymnasium. In 2003 the School celebrated 50 years of Catholic education in the Trail area. Today the school enrolls students in Kindergarten to Grade Seven.
