The Green Ridge School District was established formally in October 1913 from school lands previously part of the Perry School District No. 75 and Jordon School / Newbridge School District No. 877, with other districts, such as Woodmore School, later being amaglamated into its catchment area. A school was operated on the northeast quarter of 28-2-4 east of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin. The school district was dissolved by April 1967, as its area was included in the Boundary School Division. The school building remained at the site for many years but was demolished in the 2000s to make way for a large agricultural barn.
