The Narrows School District was established formally in April 1908. It operated a school building on the southeast quarter of 24-24-10 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Municipality of West Interlake. The school closed in 1954. The building is no longer present at the site but a sign commemorates it. The foundation for the school’s horsebarn is also present at the site.
