Historic Sites of Manitoba: Thunder Creek School No. 1455 (RM of Riding Mountain West)The Thunder Creek School District was organized formally in May 1908. A school building operated from 1917 on the northwest quarter of 10-22-28 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. It closed permanently in 1967 and its catchment area became part of the Russell Consolidated School District No. 2454. The building is no longer present at the site but a monument commemorates it. Among the teachers of Thunder Creek School were Jack H. Gibson (1940-1941) and Anne Poyser Pallister (1947-1948).
