Personalized Learning

College Community’s 10 Year Strategic Plan goal is to create a personalized learning system. Personalized learning is a progressively learner-driven model in which learners deeply engage in meaningful, authentic, and rigorous challenges to demonstrate desired outcomes. Our teachers collaborate to design learning environments that equitable, engaging, and empowering by providing students with opportunities for voice, co-creation, social construction, and self-discovery. A combination of targeted instruction, data-driven decisions, flexible content and tools, and student reflection and ownership ensures that each student receives what they need when they need it as they tap into their individual strengths and progress toward their unique learning goals.

1 to 1 Computing

Prairie has been committed to 1:1 computing since 2012. Each student in grades 5-12 is issued a personal Chromebook device. Grades K-4 use a combination of iPads and Chromebooks. Each teacher in the district receives a 13 inch MacBook Air and each classroom has an LCD projector.

Continued Growth

Continued growth brings exciting changes. In 2016, voters approved a bond referendum to expand, remodel and construct additional academic spaces at Prairie High School. The referendum also included improvements to Prairie Crest, Prairie Heights and Prairie View elementary buildings.

In March 2020, voters approved a bond referendum to construct a new 5/6 building on 80 acres directly south of Prairie Point Middle School. Funds generated would also allow significant renovations to Creek in preparation for our 9th graders and district programs.
