History
Previously Prairie Valley High School in Gowrie was the high school of the Prairie Valley district.
In August 2014, the Prairie Valley district began a whole grade-sharing arrangement with the Southeast Webster-Grand district as a way to deal with smaller enrollments and as a way to save money. The two districts together share middle and high schools.
By 2019, the school received new renovations, including a new main entrance with extra security features. Visitors are required to pass through the administrative offices before being able to access the rest of the building.
The Prairie Valley and Southeast Webster-Grand school districts merged into a single school district in 2023.[ Therefore Southeast Valley HS became the sole high school of the post-merger district.
