Historic Sites of Manitoba: Locksley School No. 2159 (Municipality of Grandview)
The Locksley School District was established formally in August 1926. In early 1927, a frame school building was erected on the northeast quarter of 4-24-23 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Municipality of Grandview, and it opened for classes in September 1927 with Miss Hodgson as the first teacher.
Over the years, a total of 163 students taught by 23 teachers passed through Locksley School. It closed in 1967 with remaining students transported by bus to Grandview Consolidated School No. 2447. The former school building is no longer present at the site but a monument, dedicated on 5 August 1995 on land donated by Dale and Dessie Froese, commemorates it.
