There was also a school district. The school, located on SE 16-10-12W, was first a log building constructed in 1888, and later a brick building in 1921. Another building was brought from another municipality in 1963. Arizona school was closed in 1968.〔(Historic Sites of Manitoba: Arizona School No. 478 (1886-1968) ), The Historical Society of Manitoba〕 In 1898 a Presbyterian Church was built in Arizona.
