Greetings! We are glad you have chosen to visit the Prairie Point Middle School and 9th Grade Academy Activities area of our website. We are sure you will find its contents both informative and useful.

We are proud of our school. Our mission to provide... "Quality Learning Today for Tomorrow" is something we constantly strive to achieve in all aspects of learning. We believe extracurricular activities play an important role in the education of our students, by providing that "other half" of the curriculum. Lessons learned in the various activities and fields of play would be difficult to learn in the traditional classroom setting. The benefits of being involved in activities are well documented and supported by research. Activities support the academic mission of our school and are inherently educational.

Students involved in activity programs tend to have higher grade point averages, better attendance records, lower dropout rates, and fewer discipline problems. Through participation in activity programs, students learn about teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing, the rewards of hard work, self-discipline, time management, self-confidence building, and skills to handle competitive situations. All are skills and traits that will help foster success in later life. It is for these reasons that students at Prairie are encouraged to become involved, both in and out of the classroom, in as many activities as they can manage. Their efforts are encouraged and applauded as they excel in each area.

Please take a few moments to browse our site as we work together to provide the best experiences possible for all students.
