Historic Sites of Manitoba: High Plains School No. 1777 (RM of Fisher)High Plains School was formally organized in February 1915 but it appears a school did not begin operation at this site in the Rural Municipality of Fisher until 1917. The school building was destroyed by fire on 25 March 1933 but was rebuilt. The district was dissolved in April 1967 and, although the wood frame building was still present at the site in the early 1990s, no trace of it was found during a visit to the site in 2011.
