Pegamigaabo School is a council operated school that offers Grades JK – 8. Our facility includes a section for Junior – Senior Kindergarten, 4 classrooms, gymnasium, computer lab, and a hot lunch program within the school. Ojibwe Language is taught as a subject course and our community Library is also located within the school. We moved into our beautiful new building in August of 1999, which features two playgrounds, a baseball field, soccer field and an outdoor skating rink. We offer a variety of extracurricular activities for students to engage in recreational sports and the school hosts a variety of cultural events throughout the school year.
