The Roseneath School District was organized formally in March 1892, and a school building was erected on the southeast quarter of 33-13-18 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah. In 1896, the school was moved to NW27-13-18W but, in March 1920, it burned to the ground. In September 1921, a new Roseneath Consolidated School was built at NE21-13-18W.
Among the teachers of Roseneath School were Mr. Young (1957-1959), Mrs. Northam (1959-1963), and Morris J. Stefaniuk (1963-1966).
The school closed in June 1966. The district was dissolved in January 1967 and the former schoolhouse was moved to Rapid City where it was converted into a private residence. A monument was erected at its former site in 1983.
