Diane Carrithers Carlisle attended here from 1948 until November 1954. Diane wrote this description of Robinette School: "With grades 1-8 the school was next door to our house. There were 7 to 11 students. I was always the only one in my grade. My parents were frequently school board members. We were allowed to bring our dogs to school, if they were well-behaved. Ours was. He used to sleep beside Rick's or my desk and looked forward to recess as we did. Bernice Robinette was our teacher from the time we arrived in Robinette (3/48) until the end of my 7th grade in 1954."
