History

Previously Prairie Valley High School in Gowrie was the high school of the Prairie Valley district.

In August 2014, the Prairie Valley district began a whole grade-sharing arrangement with the Southeast Webster-Grand district as a way to deal with smaller enrollments and as a way to save money. The two districts together share middle and high schools.[5]

By 2019, the school received new renovations, including a new main entrance with extra security features. Visitors are required to pass through the administrative offices before being able to access the rest of the building.[6]
