🏈 Football is officially BACK! Today marks the first official day of practice, and we couldn't be more excited to kick off a new season of Prairie Central football! We're also thrilled to welcome back Head Coach Andrew Quain to lead the Hawks. Coach Quain's passion for our student-athletes, commitment to excellence, and dedication to Prairie Central make today even more special as our team begins its journey toward the 2026 season. The hard work starts now. Intensity, long practices, and countless hours of preparation all begin today and we can't wait to watch this group grow together. Please join us in welcoming Coach Quain back and wishing our players and coaching staff the very best as they begin the season! #ItsAGreatDayToBeAHawk
PC Elementary is getting ready for another school year!
Prairie Central Junior High is nearing the end of its repair and renovations from our storm damage that was sustained at the end of December. The last piece of puzzle will be putting the finish on the gym floor which will be occurring in the new future. Enjoy the pictures of the transformation of the gym. Some of the items replaced or repaired due to the damage: roof, exhaust fan, lights, sound system, scoreboards, and new floor. We appreciate everyone's patience with this project.
Prairie Central Junior High has also had a transformation in the hallways. The district has historically faced issues with the concrete below the tile which caused the tiles to crack and break during thawing and freezing. We have removed the tile and installed a synthetic carpet to replace the hall tiles. The product is stain resistant, extremely durable and allows the concrete to breathe. We are excited about the change for our students and staff.
We are Hiring Bus Drivers! Starting pay at $30!
