Original Log School

.
The first school in Mistatim was build of logs and opened in 1929. This building was condemned and a new two room building was erected. More than 100 students in grades one to ten were taught by two teachers.

In 1961 this second school was replaced by the building that remained in use until the school closed in 2001. This school originally had five classrooms, a library, and an auditorium. Over the years, a sixth classroom, a large gymnasium, and a resource centre were added. For a period of time grade eleven and twelve students were bussed to Tisdale.

In 1997 the Mistatim School transferred from the Tisdale School Division to the Hudson Bay School Division. It was also downsized to a kindergarten to grade six school. The grade seven to twelve students were bussed to Porcupine Plain. A decline in enrolment caused the school to close on June 30, 2001. The students from the district now attend school in Porcupine Plain. The last teachers were Patricia Monsees and Annette Legare.
