My favorite part about being a Bobcat is the amount of student involvement in extracurriculars. So many students participate in so many different activities, including National History Day! It’s great to see our Bobcats compete and perform!

Congratulations to Sloan McVay for receiving the outstanding soloist award at the Prairie High School “Premier” Show Choir Competition.
Way to go!!

Congratulations, Josh! Benton Bowling State Qualifier
