Teachers and Staff

Prairie School is a learning community where we work as a team to educate our students.

In addition to the following personnel that all teach our students, we know that children's most important teachers are their parents. We thank the many parents that are involved in our learning community. Parents and families are welcome at our school, in our classrooms, and our many school events. For more information on how to be involved, visit our PTA link.
