The Jockvale Heritage School, originally a log structure from 1841 became a brick building in 1906. At its peak sixty to seventy, mostly Irish Catholic, pupils in eight grades attended the one room school. In 1857 the school hired its first woman teacher. During the Second World War the school became a distribution centre for ration coupon books.
The school board closed the school in 1965 as it lacked an auditorium and did not offer instruction in French and music. Since then, various groups including the Lions Club, The New Horizon Social Club, and the South Nepean Muslim Community have used the school for their meetings and functions. Reports from custodial staff indicate the building is haunted.
