The Schoenthal School District was established in February 1910 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE18-2-1W in what is now the Municipality of Rhineland. It was re-built in 1944. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Altona Consolidated School District and later the Rhineland School Division.
