Prairie School Foundation








 
"Using one of the BPA laptops and printers funded through Foundation dollars, I headed to Orlando to compete in the Software Engineering Team competition at the BPA National Leadership Conference. We placed first! It was a moment in time that will be remembered for a lifetime. I know that I'm getting a quality education at Prairie that will enable me to compete in a national if not international job market."
