Board of Trustees
Prairie Land would like to thank the 2021-2025 Board of Trustees for their leadership and service to the staff and students during their term.
Under the Education Act, our Board of Trustees govern the affairs of our system and advocate for the most exceptional education possible in their communities. Each trustee member is a passionate, active member of their community who believes that the school is place where their community’s future is molded. They each bring an immense measure of background knowledge, advocacy, and vision to our board.
