Completed in 1922, Springwater School is located 10 miles north of the Michichi turn off on Highway 9. The local farmers hired a man named Mr. Shields, who was a stone mason, to engineer the building of the school.  It was built of stone found in the area. The school was named Springwater because of several springs in the area. Ten students were present on opening day. The first teacher was Mrs. P. Manchester. The school remained open until June, 1942 after which the remaining students were bussed to the Majestic School.

As with many rural schools, Springwater served as the community gathering place. Once a year, a daylight dance was held, usually in the spring, commencing at 2 pm and continuing until midnight. The crowds attending these dances were so large that the school was too small to house them.

School fairs, Christmas concerts and W.I. chicken suppers were some of the popular activities held at the school over the years.

In April, 1952, the school was sold to the Majestic Farrell Lake Women's Institute for $200 and became a community hall.

The school was used as a set for the movie, "Bye Bye Blues" which was filmed in this area in 1988.

Unlike a lot of other rural schools, Springwater School remains on it's original site and is still well maintained. It is now taken care of by the Springwater Homestead Foundation.
