Prairie Grove Families, Due to inclement weather, all Prairie Grove schools will be closed on Tuesday, February 18th. With our instructional time now measured in hours rather than days, we have six built-in days that provide flexibility to address unforeseen weather conditions. This ensures we can prioritize the safety of our students and staff while meeting state requirements. We encourage everyone to stay safe and warm during this time.
UPDATE: Parent/Teacher Conferences are Postponed from February to April.
Keep our school healthy! 🤧🤒 If your child is feeling unwell, please keep them home to rest and recover. Let's work together to stop the spread of germs! 🏫💙 #HealthyStudents #StopTheSpread #BetterSafeThanSorry

Today, students explored careers in welding with a sweet twist! Students learned about fusion welding by practicing with Hershey’s chocolate bars. They created box welds and tested their strength—hands-on learning at its finest (and tastiest)!
PGJH Advanced EAST students collaborated together to design signs for their school navigation project. They worked alongside a print shop, our principal, and School Resource Officer to make sure everything was correct so that students could easily find their way around campus. Our EAST program is an incredible asset to our school, fostering creativity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving skills that enhance student engagement and success. Way to go, EAST!
