Named after the residential neighbourhood it was constructed in. The Sweet Grass neighbourhood was named in honour of Chief Wikaskokiesyin "Sweetgrass," a Cree chief in the 1870s who is considered the first western conservationist and who was instrumental in gaining protection of the endangered buffalo or plains bison. Sweet Grass School has the International Spanish Academy program, as well as the regular elementary program. An addition was added to the school in 1980.
