Prairie Wind Parents,

It is a tremendous honor and privilege to serve as the next head principal of Prairie Wind Elementary School. I believe strong relationships, high expectations, consistent systems, and a genuine commitment to doing what is best for students are the foundation of a successful school. My goal is to create a welcoming and structured environment where students love to learn, staff feel supported and valued, and families feel connected to our school community. I look forward to building upon Prairie Wind’s tradition of excellence while working collaboratively to support every student, every day. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve this community and excited for all that we will accomplish together.

Principal – Brandon Anderson
