The Artemesia School District was organized formally in November 1901 and a school building operated on the northeast quarter of 32-25-23 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Municipality of Grandview. The school closed in 1964 and its remaining students went to Grandview Consolidated School No. 2447. The former school building was sold to local farmer Glen Allen Shoemaker (1925-2019) and moved to his farmyard at NE33-25-23W. A stone monument commemorates it at the original site.
Among the teachers of Artemesia School was Raymond James “Ray” McNeill.
