The Prairie Rose Perspective is an online news source where we take a deeper dive into some of the stories, programs, people and communities that make Prairie Rose Public Schools unique. The purpose of the publication is to showcase the voices of our students, staff and community partners and demonstrate how learning is connected to our three primary education goals of ignite minds, forge futures and kindle hearts.
