The Kornelsen School, founded in November 1878, holds a special place in Steinbach's history. Named after teacher Gerhard E. Kornelsen, it served as the community's primary educational institution for decades. In 1911, a two-story building was constructed to accommodate all grade levels until 1936. The original structure, closed and demolished in 1964, gave way to newer facilities, with the Kornelsen name living on through subsequent educational institutions.
