When the Lejac Residential School was built in 1922 Rose was sent there with some of her siblings and other children from her school, as part of the Canadian residential school system. When Prince was 16, still attending school at Lejac, her mother and two youngest sisters died from an influenza outbreak. Devastated, she opted not to return home for the summers, but to stay on at the school instead. After graduation, she stayed on at the school, tutoring children who needed help with their schoolwork, completing chores such as mending and sewing, painting and embroidering. She also worked as a secretary to the director.
