Historic Sites of Manitoba: Highview School No. 427 (RM of Killarney-Turtle Mountain)
The Highview School District was established formally in November 1885 and, two years later, a frame school building was erected at NW10-2-17W in what is now the Rural Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain. Destroyed by fire, a new schoolhouse made of bricks was constructed in 1901. It fell down in 1914 and another building was built at NW11-2-17W. In 1960, it was consolidated with Lena Consolidated School No. 1393. The school building is no longer present at the site but a metal monument commemorates it.
Among the teachers of Highview School were Annie Kilpatrick (1887) and Mrs. Ross (1960).
