Historic Sites of Manitoba: Rose Lea School No. 278 (RM of Ellice-Archie)
Rose Lea School District No. 278 (sometimes spelled Roselea School) was formally established in March 1884 and a wood frame school building was erected on the northwest quarter of 14-14-28 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Ellice-Archie. It was dissolved in July 1961 and its remaining students went to Rutherglen Consolidated School No. 1297. As of 1986, the former school building was being used as a garage at SE10-15-28W.
