The Park View School District was established in August 1906 and a one-room log schoolhouse operated at NE16-21-6W, on land donated by William Lundy, in what is now the Municipality of West Interlake. Destroyed by fire in the early 1920s, the original building was replaced by a wood frame structure. Low student enrollment caused the school to close periodically from 1940 to 1965 when it closed permanently. Two years later, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Lakeshore School Division. The former school building was moved to Vogar.
Among the teachers of Park View School were Edward “Ed” Miskelly (1907-1913), Margaret Martin (1914), John N. Sturk (1915-1916), Frank S. Shaw (1916), Annie C. Mills (1916-1917), Marjorie W.
