Board of Education

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the College Community School District. All our modern, recently renovated, up-to-date buildings are located on a central campus on the southwest side of Cedar Rapids and proudly serve the communities of Ely, Fairfax, Shueyville, Swisher, Walford and portions of the southwest side of Cedar Rapids. We also serve rural portions of Benton, Johnson, and Linn Counties.

Each day approximately 5,800 students are on our campus and have opportunities to participate in a wide variety of academic, career-readiness, and extra-curricular activities. Our dedicated team of administrators, teachers, and support staff are committed to our students and their success not only at Prairie but after their time at Prairie.

We are fortunate to be in a community that has the strong support of our parents, volunteers, and our communities. I encourage parental and community support thru the variety of opportunities that exist such as PTOs, Booster Club, Prairie Music Association, as well as the many other clubs and organizations that support our students. We are grateful for our many classroom volunteers and are always looking for more volunteers whether it be on a regular basis or just occasionally. 

The College Community School Board consists of seven members, who serve four-year terms, and are elected by the residents of our district. The Board of Education meets monthly in the Board Room which is in the District Office. Board meetings are open to the public, and I encourage you to attend our meetings which are usually held on the 3^rd Monday of the month. However, please check the calendar which is located on the website for any changes in dates and/or times.

At College Community you can count on our teachers, administrators, and support staff to provide a solid foundation in learning and development of our students. Our School Board understands the importance of supporting our teachers and administration while maintaining the fiscal responsibility of the College Community School District and the communities that we serve. Thank you for allowing us to represent your interests as a community and the interests of the College Community students!  We hope to see you at our meetings and in our classrooms sharing whatever time and talents you have. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact a board member.
