About PHES
Prairie Heights Elementary School (PHES), is located at the west edge of the community. It was opened in 1954 and expanded by two mobile classrooms in 1993. The building is well maintained and remains in good condition in spite of 45 years of use. It now houses grades K-4, plus a preschool class and a day care center. The main building contains five graded classrooms, a special services classroom, a counselor's room, a music room, a speech room, a nurses' office, and a teacher's workroom. An office for the principal as well as the secretary are also part of the main building.
The gymnasium is regulation size and has hardwood flooring. Generous space provides spectator seating for programs and athletic events. Classrooms are very well sized with an excellent storage room for student supplies and teaching materials.
One of the mobile unit was converted from two classrooms to a library with adjoining computer lab in 1998. Students have daily access to a wide variety of library books and a computer lab.
