Historic Sites of Manitoba: St. John School No. 2193 (Municipality of Harrison Park)The St. John School District was organized formally in November 1928, and a school building operated on the northeast quarter of 29-19-22 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Municipality of Harrison Park. It closed in 1964 and henceforth students in the area were transported by bus to Oakburn Consolidated School No. 255. The building is no longer present at the site but a monument dedicated on 14 August 1993, and a model of the former school, commemorates it.
