would dock at what was then known as "Isbester's Landing", named for railway contractor James Isbester, who in partnership with Robert Gillespie Reid was responsible for building many of the railway bridges along the north shore of Lake Superior. Isbester's Landing grew from a construction camp to a railway divisional point. A station, roundhouse, car shops, icehouse and stock yard soon followed. The town was renamed Schreiber in 1885. On July 13, 1901, the township was officially incorporated. The CPR moved the divisional office from White River to Schreiber in 1912, and thereafter remained as one of the town's biggest employers. The town's economy is also sustained by a pulp mill in Terrace Bay, which is located 15 minutes away. During World War II, Schreiber was the site of one of the four work camps established for Japanese-Canadian internees. Several prisoner of war camps for Axis soldiers, sailors and air force personnel were also built nearby. Many immigrants soon came to Schreiber, with a large proportion finding jobs on the railway. A large percentage of these immigrants were from Italy, particularly from Siderno. Many others came from Poland, Finland, Scotland, Ireland, and other countries in Europe, as well as other parts of Canada.

The school was located at the northwest corner of Ontario and Winnipeg Streets. By 1912, overcrowding forced the addition of two more classrooms and an enlarged entranceway. The present Schreiber Public School building was constructed in 1956--again, with additions being added over the later years. To ease overcrowding at the Schreiber Public School, in 1943, Schreiber's Catholic community undertook to create a separate school section. The Guild Hall, which stood next to the Catholic church, was reconfigured into classrooms. It was soon realized that a true separate school was needed and in 1949, Holy Angels Separate School was built. This new building consisted of four classrooms and a large lower area which could be converted into classrooms. Several additions were made over the years to handle a growing student population with the last major extension being built in 1966. Although the public school was located on the north side of town, the
