Roundup Central School is a historic public school at 600 First Street West in Roundup, Montana. The west wing was finished in 1911 and the east wing in 1913, making it the first large public school in the city after smaller two- and four-room schools. The sandstone building symbolized Roundup’s growth and its goal of becoming a regional center. Even during the droughts of the late 1910s and 1920s, the town stayed stable because the school helped serve as a regional hub. During later years of school consolidation, Roundup kept growing, absorbing many nearby districts and becoming the largest in Musselshell County; it even absorbed the Klein district in 1959. The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 2007. Today it continues to operate as a school and is one of two elementary schools in the county.
