It was opened December of the same year the construction began. These subjects English, grammar, mathematics, geography, history, music, and art were the subjects taught by a single teacher by the name of Miss Francis. For 62 years the school would be known as School Number 7 until it was renamed The Pine Grove School in 1927.

Closing in 1949 as a school, the building would remain open as a branch library, a nursery school, and a meeting place for Explorer Scouts. Still standing today the Pine Grove Schoolhouse would become a early twentieth century schoolhouse in 1975 with bolted desks, hand slates, textbooks, and a working stove.
