Manning School Number 12

The first school at Manning was built in 1907 and was a two-story bungalow, with more buildings added through the years to accommodate the growing population of the Carter-Kelley Lumber Company company town. In 1919 and 1930 Manning was classified as a three year high school and consolidated Belview in 1929. After the mill plant burned in 1935, the community slowly declined, but the school remained open for several more years as an elementary school serving grades one through seven.
