Prairie High School opened in September 1979 to accommodate the growing population in the southern portion of the Battle Ground School District, in Southwestern Washington. Located 10 miles northeast of Vancouver, Washington near the town of Brush Prairie, Prairie High School has provided numerous opportunities from academics to athletics to fine arts to computers to vocational training to over 1400 students each year in grades nine through twelve. The student body consists of students from Laurin, Pleasant Valley, and Maple Grove Middle Schools in the Battle Ground School District, and, until recently, students in the neighboring Hockinson School District.  The school's mascot is the falcon, and the colors are crimson and gold.
 

The Alumni Web Site

The alumni web site was created by Jayson Dodge (PHS Class of 1988) in February 1999 after discovering that a Prairie High School alumni site did not exist on the internet after numerous, lengthy searches. The site was made specifically for the alumni of Prairie High School. After attending his ten year high school reunion, he decided to find ways to contact other alumni from PHS. Through the use of available free home pages and some knowledge of HTML, The Prairie High School Alumni Web Site went online. With little advertising and promotion, a few alums added their names to the listing. Through additional search engines, websites, newspapers, word of mouth, and other forms of media, more and more people are coming to a place to share memories of their high school experiences.  In September 2001, the Prairie High School Alumni Web Site moved into its permanent home at prairietalon.org.  Around the same time, the Prairie High School Alumni Association Project was established, and plans to form an alumni association are currently underway.
