21st Century Learning 1:1 Initiative

During the 2011-2012 school year, Dakota Collegiate introduced the 21st Century Learning One-to-One initiative, in which all grade nine students were required to purchase their own laptop computer to use in their classes. The computers were used to complete assignments, create presentations, and research information. This initiative continued in the 2012-2013 school year, with grade 9 and 10 students requiring laptops, and an open invitation for students in higher grades to bring their own devices if they desire.

Murray Field

After 54 years of Dakota Collegiate's opening, the school never played a single home football game until the school raised money for "the field of dreams" project. The school started fund raising money in late 2015 for a brand new football field, outdoor basketball court and a cricket pitch. Dakota finished the project in late 2017. It took over $3,000,000 to complete building the football field, and it took over $180,000 to complete the basketball court. Fundraising for the project was through gala dinners with guest speakers such as Troy Westwood, Matt Dunigan, Milt Stegall, Rod Hill, Dale Hawerchuk, Mark Scheifele, Jon Montgomery, and Donovan Bailey. The field got its name from a $250,000 donation from the family of auto dealer Dan Murray. The basketball court was named after former Dakota Collegiate coach and teacher Dale Bradshaw. Between 1968 and 1982, Bradshaw coached Dakota Collegiate to five provincial basketball titles. In 2019, it was announced that the city of Winnipeg would be funding two new tennis and pickleball courts. The courts grand opening was held on October 5, 2020.
