On April 10, 1910 the Biggar Public School Board accepted the tender for $12,500.00 from W.J. Wright of Prince Albert to build a two story, four room brick school. When the school first opened it was known as Biggar Public School and sometime later it became known as Biggar Central School. The school was built on the north side of the first block of 5th Avenue East. By 1914, the enrollment had increased and it was necessary to have high school classes. To meet the needs, the Board decided to build a 22'x28' frame building on the school grounds. During its construction classes were also held in St. Paul’s Anglican Church Hall. During the next ten years two more frame buildings were added to the school grounds to provide the necessary classroom space. By 1962, Biggar Central School had become obsolete and in poor condition so it was demolished to make way for Nova Wood School.



The bell that hung in the bell tower of Biggar Central School, spent some time in front of the Biggar Town Hall, until the classes of 1960-66 paid for its restoration and placement in the foyer of the new Biggar Central School 2000.
