Prairie South School Division Makes Forbes Magazine’s List

The Power of Storytelling. Being named one of Forbes’ top ten school divisions was an incredible honor for Prairie South—but recognition doesn’t just happen. It comes from a deliberate strategy of telling the story of all the great work happening in our schools.

Awards don’t teach kids—dedicated teachers, engaged families, and strong leadership do. But telling those stories is just as vital. When we share the impact we’re making, we don’t just gain recognition—we build momentum, attract resources, and inspire community support. That’s why strategic storytelling should be woven into your school division’s long-term goals. It’s not just about bragging rights; it’s about creating opportunities for further success and ensuring everyone sees the value of education in shaping our future.

📌 Actionable Insight: If your school division isn’t already including storytelling in its strategic plan, now’s the time. Develop a clear strategy to showcase your wins, share student successes, and engage the community. This isn’t just about recognition—it’s about creating a ripple effect of support that drives growth and success for your students.
