History
The school was built prior to 1918. In 2018 it received a federal grant of $4,691,494, intended for school districts that educate Native Americans.

In 2020 the district had 55 students. In 2020 four board members were criminally charged, accused of not properly using $150,000 in school money. Governor of North Dakota Doug Burgum and North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler suspended the four. North Dakota state officials appointed their replacements.

In the midst of the controversy, the district replaced its former superintendent and principal with Jordan Brown.
