On October 13, 1910, the community settlers in the area met and formed the Arborfield School District No. 2785. The first school board borrowed $1000.00 to build the first school in 1911. Many more schools were built and added to the area until March 10, 1930, when a group of local citizens held a meeting to request the formation of another school district. On April 11, 1930, the Department of Education informed the group that the Treasure School District No. 4864 had been erected. A few years later the name "Treasure" was changed to Arborfield. This was the result of a switching of name titles between two existing school districts - the former "Arborfield" School District then took the name of "Treasure". The first two-room school was built in the school's present location in 1930–31. A fire destroyed the original structure in 1947. In 1948 a new six-room school was built. In 1950, Arborfield S.D. became part of the Tisdale School Unit No. 53. There were many rooms added throughout the years until 1965 when the south/west wing was added – which is now utilized as for secondary school instruction. The 1980s saw other additions such as the building of a gymnasium and shower rooms, introduction of a computer lab and an Industrial Arts Shop.
