The Carn Ridge School District was established formally in March 1914 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NW7-28-8W in what would later become the Rural Municipality of Grahamdale. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Lakeshore School Division. At the time of a 2016 site visit, only the former school’s well crib was visible.
Among the teachers who worked at Carn Ridge School were Nina Ethel Rankel (1950-1951), Gudrun Mangl (April-June 1952), Bertha A. Grusing (1952-1953), Samuel Kostelnyk (1954-1955), Anne Horberg (1955-1956), Marion W. Gering (1956-1957), Elsie June Johnson (1957-1958), Alfred Albert Cook (1958-1962), Joseph Tony Zatylny (1962-1963), Irene Harriet Walter (1963-1964), and Anne Gertrude Plohman (1964-1967).
