Broadview School District was formed in 1898 and officially consolidated with Morris in 1968. The original school on this site, in the northeast quarter of 16-4-1 east of the Principal Meridian in the Rural Municipality of Morris, was enlarged and updated twice before the 1950 flood resulted in the construction of a new modern building. Low enrolment led to the school’s closure in 1965. A cairn was erected at the site in July 2008 and was dedicated to the pioneers, teachers, trustees, parents, and students of the Broadview School District.
