Along with a part time psychologist and a social worker, Prairie Wind has a full time counselor who provides both academic counseling and personal guidance. The building also has a student assistance team made up of teachers, administration, and the counselor who meet weekly to discuss possible interventions for students who are experiencing academic, social, and family difficulties.
All students study core courses in math, language arts, social studies/geography, science, and reading. In addition, students take classes in computer, wellness, health-PE, industrial technology (Project Lead the Way), music, physical education, Spanish, band, and choir.
