Pembina Hills Regional Division No. 7 is the public education authority for a region of central Alberta centred on the towns of Westlock, Barrhead, and Swan Hills.
The current regional school district was created on January 1, 1995 during a wave of school board amalgamation in Alberta, during the Progressive Conservative government of Ralph Klein. Pembina Hills was formed by a voluntary merger of Westlock School Division No. 37, the educational component of the County of Barrhead No. 11 and Swan Hills School District No. 5109.
Prior to that union, the Barrhead and Westlock areas had previously been part of a regional school division, Pembina School Division No. 37, which was split in 1947 into the Westlock and Barrhead School Divisions. In 1959, the Municipal District of Barrhead consolidated with the school district to form a county. The first school district in Swan Hills (Oil Hills School District No. 5109) was not formed until 1959.
