Historic Sites of Manitoba: Rose Valley School No. 344 (RM of Killarney-Turtle Mountain)The Rose Valley School District was established formally in June 1884 and a frame school building was erected the next year on the southwest quarter of 22-1-16 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain. It closed in December 1965 and its catchment area was divided between the Lena Consolidated School District No. 1393 and Holmfield Consolidated School District No. 699. The school building is no longer present at the site but a metal sign commemorates it. Among the teachers of Rose Valley School were James B. Cook (1884) and Mrs. Gail Orriss (1965).
