Prairie Spirit School Division is a rural school division located in south central Manitoba. The large geographical area includes many farming communities. The name “Prairie Spirit” was chosen from a contest of the residents of the School Division. Prairie Spirit encompasses shared values of co-operation, honesty, trust, hard work, determination, foresight, pride in a job well done, and courage to try new things. It’s the same spirit that brought our forefathers to the prairies. It brings people together to work towards a common goal – that being to provide the best education possible for the students of Prairie Spirit School Division. Fifteen (15) schools draw our rural students to the communities of Baldur, Bruxelles, Cartwright, Crystal City, Glenboro, Holland, Manitou, Pilot Mound, Somerset, St. Claude, Swan Lake and Treherne. Fourteen (14) schools serve students resident on Hutterian Brethren colonies.
