    "This junior high school has an excellent principal. She has wonderful leadership qualities that can be seen throughout the school. She has an excellent rapport with her teachers and students. The teachers go above and beyond their duties. I am very pleased with our junior high school."

    "Prairie is a very excellent school. It does not only serve you an right to an education, but also has you learn and teaches the importance of school, lessons of life, and it urges you to go on with your life and aducation. I was a student with a hard life but Prairie did not only keep me going to realize the importance of your education, but also the teachers were phanominal to show me that they cared and were there. As Prairie you feel like that is your family, and you feel very comforatble."

    "I am currently an eight grader and would like to say that PJH is, what I would call, the best Junior High in the state. First of all, the teachers are great, though I would like to point a few out. Rita McDermott (7th and 8th grade reading teacher) is amazing. She makes you want to come to school just for that class. She is nice, fun and a great teacher overall. Nancy Mayfield (7th and 8th grade social studies teacher) is also quite fantastic. She has an awesome attitude and teaching style and is a very fun teacher to have. Besides teachers, another great thing Prairie has to offer is all of the clubs. One of the best is band. 5 years in a row, we have won the band confrence competition, which is very good since we practice 3 days less per week than other bands. Overall, Prairie=Awesome!"

    "Praire is a wonderful school. They make you feel like you're part of a family. Every day they start it off with an assembly and you really feel like you're a part of something. There are tons of clubs and the classes are really fun."
