Volunteer Services
College Community Volunteers serve an important role in the success of our educational programs and help ensure that our district motto “Success For All” continues to be a reality. Many programs, events and activities exist because of the leadership of volunteers.

Your efforts as a volunteer, whether it be in the classroom, library or media centers, on field trips, Parent-Teacher Organization events, athletic and music events or the many other ways that you help, is recognized and appreciated by the School Board, administration and staff at Prairie Schools.
