Sandringham School
The Sandringham School District was organized formally in October 1892 and a one-room log school building was erected the following year on the northwest quarter of 16-25-20 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Dauphin, on land donated by Charlie Hicks. In 1949, it was replaced by a new building. The school closed in 1964 with remaining students going to schools in Dauphin. In 1980, the log school building was moved to Fort Dauphin Museum and a monument commemorates it here.
Trembowla School
A sign marks the first location of the Trembowla School building in the Rural Municipality of Dauphin. Established formally as a district in November 1899, the building was later moved to a site nearby. The former building of Riverbend School No. 1176 was moved to the area in 1960 and used until 1965 when the district was dissolved.
