Historic Sites of Manitoba: Lena School No. 1393 (1907-1970)

Lena School was established formally in August 1906 and a brick school building was erected the next year, in the village of Lena in the Rural Municipality of Turtle Mountain. In 1960, it became Lena Consolidated School No. 1393 when it was consolidated with nearby rural schools, Highview School No. 427 and Victoria Lake School No. 446. It joined the Turtle Mountain School Division in 1968 and closed two years later. The school building is no longer present at the site but a metal monument commemorates it.
