Prairie Elementary School

📢 Attention Prairie Elementary Families! 🍫💰 This is a friendly reminder that chocolate money is due now! If you haven’t already turned in your money for the World’s Finest Chocolate fundraiser, please do so as soon as possible.

Introducing the 2024-25 Site Teachers of the Year! These educators were selected by their peers at each Guymon Public Schools site because of the way they connect with students, mentor colleagues, innovate in their classrooms, and consistently demonstrate the mission, vision, and values of GPS. These seven individuals are relentless advocates for students and public education. Our community is so fortunate to have teachers like these (and many others), who inspire our next generation of leaders with their genuine care and passion for what they do. Spend just a few minutes in one of their classrooms, and it’s immediately evident how skilled these teachers are and how much they love their jobs. They lead with heart. They are continuously improving. They embody everything a parent could ask for in their student’s teacher. They honor their profession every day, and we are so proud to call them our Site Teachers of the Year. Please join us in congratulating them! 🎉 Amy Rhodes Pre K | Carrier Elementary Tamra Hall Kindergarten | Homer Long Elementary Nicole Haught 2nd Grade | Prairie Elementary Kris Hall Counselor | Academy Elementary Roman Rodriguez Special Education | North Park Elementary Dorrie Test 8th Grade Social Studies | Guymon Junior High Alison Clemans Art | Guymon High School Thank you for all you do for our students and our schools! #TigerPride #TeacherOfTheYear #GPSExcellence
