History

Formation

Dakota Prairie first became a new school district on July 1, 1993 when the school districts of the towns of Aneta, McVille, Michigan City, Tolna, and Unity of Petersburg joined together. Originally, there was the elementary school building in McVille, the junior high school building in Tolna, and the high school building in Petersburg. The middle school in Tolna eventually closed down in an attempt to further centralize the district, and was moved to be part of the high school building in Petersburg.

Today

The Dakota Prairie School District still uses the high school building in Petersburg and the elementary building in McVille for regular classes. Sent to these two schools are 408 students from eleven communities (McVille, Hamar, Tolna, Pekin, Kloten, Aneta, Niagara, Whitman, Petersburg, Dahlen, and Michigan). Students also come from seven different counties in North Dakota: Nelson, Griggs, Grand Forks, Eddy, Walsh, Benson, and Ramsey. The entire school district covers approximately 900 square miles (2,300 km2).

The building has eleven classrooms, which include one band and chorus room, one computer lab, two science rooms, and one technology education room.
