On July 27, 1912, a petition for the organization of a S. D. in the LID #162 was signed by Robert Thompson, Cliff Hurlburt and Fred McIntyre; and asked that it include these lands:Sections 10 to 15, 22 to 27, 34 to 36 of Twp. 16, Rge 29, andSections 7, 18, and 19 of Twp. 16, Rge.28. There followed some months of dispute over the western boundary, but by the fall of 1913 the boundaries had been approved by the now R. M. of Caron#162, as requested, except for Section 19-16-28 which was on the eastern boundary.

A letter was sent to the Minister of Education by Mr. Preville, then secretary of the school board, suggestingthe following school names: Homestead, Golden Rule, Breezy Point, Royal George, Highland. Perhaps a circle around "Royal George" indicated their preference - that name was okayed. The school was built on the NE corner of NE 23-16-29, which was the homestead of George and Sarah McIntyre.

It was completed and furnished byFeb. 1915, and school opened with Miss Frances Botting as its first teacher, and 16 pupils.

The school was in continuous operation from1915 to 1941, when it closed for lack of pupils, reopening in1949 until 1963, when pupils were then bused to Moose Jaw. The S. D. had joined the Moose Jaw School Unit #22 in 1951. The schoolhouse was sold by the School Unit Board to Vic Willis, and now is an outbuilding on the Ray Willis farm (shown below in 2000).





The School Unit turned the school grounds back to the present owner of the land surrounding it, Allen McIntyre.  Below is the site in 2000.
