Photo & Info from Historic Sites of Manitoba

The Hathaway School District was formally near the community of Broomhill in July 1892, in the Rural Municipality of Albert, being moved into it in 1916. It operated until 1958, when it merged with Broomhill School No. 985 to become Broomhill Consolidated School No. 2363 in a new building, with the former school building sold to a local farmer for use as living quarters for hired help. The old Broomhill school building was brought to town for use as a teacherage and, after the school closed, it was used for community events. The consolidated school building was moved to Melita around 1963 where it was used as a classroom at Melita Consolidated School No. 440.
