On Wednesday, May 20th, Washington County Riverboat Foundation's Board of Directors voted to fully fund a $101,473 grant to renovate our school libraries!

This project will modernize library spaces at East Elementary, West Elementary, and Middle School through new age-appropriate signage, flexible seating, collaborative work areas, upgraded projection system (Middle School), improved shelving, and updated book collections to better support student learning and instructional use.

In 2017, Mid-Prairie High School received a WCRF grant to transform the library. We are extremely grateful to the Washington County Riverboat Foundation for their continued support of our schools, students, and community! #mphawks

A special visit for our East Elementary 1st and 2nd graders!

Students visited West Elementary to help support a smooth transition for the 2026-27 school year. During their visit, students explored their new building, met teachers and staff, and got to check out the new playground — definitely a highlight of the day!

We’re excited to welcome these students to West Elementary next year and look forward to all the learning, friendships, and memories ahead. #mphawks
