I loved the ag program at Prairie Central. I became very involved in the FFA my freshman year, and consequently went to nationals three times with a chance to go a fourth if our Ag Business Management team wins state this spring. In total, we boast over 120 state wins, and 7 national championships in the FFA CDE's, of which I was one of the national champions. I would like to see some of the science department improve because right now the science class I am in is very easy and doesn't really prepare me for a college class setting.

They did not offer enough variety of classes, some teachers were cool, others did not even care. Lot of teachers made you teach yourself.

I thought the teachers were very sincere in their efforts to help each and every student. I do wish that the guidance councilors were better about scheduling according to each students future interests.

I am a recent alum of PCHS and went to a top tier University after graduating from PC. I had no problem with the curriculum and blending in with the students who had gone to expensive private schools. I feel that PC prepared me very well for the next level of my education. There is a wide variety of...
