Historic Sites of Manitoba: Round Lake School No. 1664 (Municipality of Harrison Park)The Round Lake School District was organized formally in February 1913 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NE3-18-19W in what is now the Municipality of Harrison Park. The district was dissolved in 1962 and its catchment area became part of the Erickson Consolidated School District. The former schoolhouse was used for a time as a granary but has stood vacant for over 30 years. It was still standing at the time of a May 2021 site visit. Among the teachers of Round Lake School was James Irving Bateman.
