The New Prairie Central Elementary School is beginning to take shape. The new building is up to grade and we are in the process of bringing more rock onto the site. Foundation work has begun and the concrete base for the building will begin to be poured in the near future. The HVAC upgrades for the Upper Elementary and Junior High will be completed by the Fall of 2027 and we will begin the bid process for the High School Campus in early October with the hope for a completion date for the Fall of 2028. Just a reminder that updates and pictures are also maintained on our district website (www.prairiecentral.org). Please select Facility Updates at the top of the page.
Have a great day,
Brian Quam
Superintendent
Brylee, an 8th grader, was nominated by Coach Meister, who wrote, "Brylee has been one of the leaders of the softball team all season. She has played outstanding defense at second base with 29 total fielding chances and 0 errors. Offensively, Brylee ranks in the top 2 in the following categories: batting average, on base percentage, hits, RBI's, runs scored, walks, and stolen bases! Brylee is a quiet leader on the team, she lets her play do the talking, and I appreciate that she is usually locked in and ready to work hard!" Brylee is also involved in basketball.
Lola, an 8th grader, was nominated by Mrs. Harms, who wrote, "Lola has been a joy to have in class the last two years. She works incredibly hard, is quick to help out those around her, and always has great insight to share with the class. Her strength of character shines in all she does." Lola also helps with Harvest Call, is involved in her church, spends time with her siblings, plays in the band, and participated in CARES Clowns.
