When it came to naming the school, many community members commented on how the plot of land looked like a savannah. Savannah almost became the building’s given name, until a Board of Education member noted the land was actually a prairie. The halls, walls and staff have embraced learners for more than 30 years and today Prairie Campus is known for its excellence in education, innovative programs and supportive community.
