Historic Sites of Manitoba: Prout School No. 1821 (RM of St. Andrews)
The Prout School District was established formally in August 1916 and a school building operated on the southeast quarter of 35-17-3 east of the Principal Meridian in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews. The present school building was erected in 1933 after the original building was destroyed by fire. It closed in 1965 and the building was renovated into a private residence.
Among the teachers of Prout School were Miss Mary Peace (1916), Kathleen McKinley (1917), John Sibinski (1923), A. M. Humeny (1923), F. W. Trudeau (1928), George W. Chidley (1928), Annie Kochie (1948), Mrs. Frances Buchurka (1965), and Josephine Toews (1965).
