Productive: We encourage all students to take part in activities and athletics. We know that students that are engaged and active in the their school have high rates of success.


Healthy: We encourage students to make healthy choices and keep their body and mind strong.


Safe: Be a good sport in and out of the classroom and on and off of the field; Prairie's tradition is built on hard work and dedication. #prairiepride


As we all work together to be PHS: Productive - Healthy - Safe the following are ways that families can support their student and their educational journey...


  • Make sure your student attends school daily and arrives on time, ready to learn
  • Ensure your student completes assignments and meets deadlines
  • Help your student manage their time
  • Encourage your student to take courses that build their experience and the love of learning
  • Ask your student about their day, so that you are aware of their school life



We are looking forward to an amazing 2022-2023 school year! We are PRAIRIE HAWKS!

Red Basket Project at PHS - THANK YOU NHS!

Did you know that in the United States, 1 in 5 teens struggle to afford feminine hygiene products and 4 in 5 either missed or knew someone who missed class time because they did not have access to feminine hygiene products. In response to this need, National Honor Society has partnered with the Red Basket Project to support access to feminine hygiene products in the female bathrooms at PHS. These products are available free of charge to anyone who may need them. All we ask is that you only take what you need in that moment.


If you need a month's supply of feminine hygiene products, there are "period packs" available in the Student Services Office. These packs are available with a "no questions asked" policy.


Finally, this project runs on donations only, no school money is used to fund it. If you would like to support the purchase of feminine hygiene products, you can donate using the district's InTouch Receipting System. If you would like to donate feminine hygiene products directly, they can be brought to the Student Services Office. All donated products must be in their original packaging.


The members of National Honor Society thank you for your support of this project!
