Congratulations to PG Band members Tyler, Lorelei, Vinny, and Korin for auditioning into the ILMEA District 7 Junior Honor Band! They were selected through a competitive audition process, with District 7 (McHenry, Lake, & northern Cook counties) being one of the most competitive.

Recognize a Valued Educator

Our teachers and staff show up for students every day with care, patience, and heart, often in ways that go unseen. Whether it’s a teacher who sparked a love of learning, a staff member who offered support during a tough moment, or someone who simply brightens the day, we invite you to let them know the difference they’ve made.A few kind words can mean more than you might imagine, and every note will be shared with the person you recognize.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the people who make Prairie Grove so special! #OneBuildingOneTeam

8th Grade FACS students got a firsthand look into the food truck business when Kluck Kluck Chicken stopped by for a visit. Students learned about what it takes to own and operate a food truck from the owner- how cool! Thanks for the visit!
