Name chosen for new elementary school

Feb 26 2019

After reviewing more than one hundred name suggestions from the public, the School Board selected Hamilton Ridge Elementary as the name of the new elementary school that will be built in Savage. The Board chose the name due to its historical significance. Prior to the name "Savage," the area was known as "Hamilton."

The Board has also chosen to name the school fields William G. Pearson, Jr. Athletic Fields in honor of the previous owner of Prior Lake Aggregates who passed away in August, 2017.

Feb 12 2019

Thanks to input from more than 125 school and community members, the School Board approved adjustments to the most important document in Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools: our Strategic Plan.

Students, parents, staff and community members worked to describe the experiences they would like to have in our schools in the coming years. These descriptions were ultimately used to make adjustments to our district goals.
