Ricinus School #3148Four acres of land on the North half of 23-36-7-W5 were donated by George Bugbee Sr. and Willard Harness for a school, each giving two acres of their respective homesteads. The school opened in July 1917 with Mrs. Christie Bean teaching twenty children between the ages of five and sixteen. Like most country schools in the early days, Ricinus was not open during the winter months. In 1952 Betty Bean supervised the children until they were bussed to Caroline in that year. The school building was sold to a man from Bowden, Alberta, and later to Bill Turner. The building burned to the ground several years ago.
Ricinus School was the ninth school built in the Caroline Alberta District.
