We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community for approving the recent bond referendum to construct a pool/recreation center, upgrade John Wall Stadium, create a wrestling complex, and install a baseball/softball hitting facility. Thank you!

History was made last night in the Concert Hall as Prairie Creek Intermediate School had their first ever orchestra concert. The orchestra program started this fall for 5th graders. It was a wonderful night of music led by Orchestra Teacher Taryn Kroymann.
