Prairie School Foundation








 
"Supporting the Foundation is vital to a Prairie education. The demands of the new global economy have greatly increased roles and challenges for teachers and students. The foundation plays a critical role in meeting these challenges."

One little known fact about me
Why did you want to be involved with the Foundation? To improve the educational opportunities not only for our children in the future, but all the children in our community.
What would you like to see happen at Prairie in the next 5-10 years? Prairie is positioned to be the foundation of the technology corridor throughout the next decade and with the support of the community will continue to grow to meet the necessary needs. My goal is to see the Prairie School District continue to better itself during growth, while not losing the small school "feel" that has been it’s strength through the years. The Prairie Foundation should continue to strive to supplement the district in ways that benefit our community as a whole.
