| Education has been the cornerstone of every community within the Souris Regional High School district. This page is in tribute of the small one-room schools that put our students in the thousands, out in the world to accomplish much in their lives. Many of the little one-room schools have disappeared. Others have been turned into homes and summer homes. They were the structure, which the small communities revolved. They were also a meeting place, a place to hold concerts and benefits. Several provided a limited library for the surrounds. In the era before the automobile, it was deemed that a child should not have to walk more than a mile and a half to go to school. Therefore there was a school every three miles. Today we are well served by five English elementary schools from Grades I to VIII, a French school serving Grades I to VI and a Regional High School serving Grades IX to XII. The graduates continue to bring awards and honours to themselves, as well as their home communities. The Souris Regional High District ~ in the past

Farewell Song To The Old School R. Emmett MacDonaldLet us roll away the year,
Happy days of youth recall,
The classroom of the storied long ago.
Symbol of the passing years,
Now is going to decay,
So sing we now its farewell e'er we go.Chorus: Sing, sing, singing of old school days,
School mates here no more who dwell
Sad we say farewell to you
Dear old school, adieu, adieu
So part we now forever, fare-thee-well. | Three score years have passed away
With the school of yesterday
And memories of the past a tale may tell.
Here we learned our ABC'S
Memorized our one, two, three's
Good old school of many lessons, fare thee well.Chorus: Wish we could be kids again
Playing out on the Green,
And its for those carefree days we often yearn,
Then the skies were ever blue.
For our hearts were always gay
But the happy past that's gone can ne'er return. |
