Principal's Message
As we wrap up another school year at Prairie View Middle School, I am filled with pride and gratitude. It has been an incredible year.
Congratulations to all of our PV Eagles on a job well done. Whether in academics, sports, or extracurricular activities, Eagle achievements have been outstanding. A special shoutout to our 8th graders moving on to high school. We are confident they will excel in their next chapter.
With a week and a half left in the school year, we are wrapping up academics and finishing with some fun Field Days. Please encourage your student(s) to finish strong.
Have a safe and relaxing summer.
