The town of Prior Lake, also known as “South of the River,” is one of the fastest growing areas in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The residents of Prior Lake take great pride in their community as they have a City Clean Up Day every year. My family participates in this event and for a small fee, we can take our large trash items to a certain spot and drop it off. We know one person that even took an old car to get rid of it!
As for schools, the Prior Lake-Savage School District is the governing school district in the community. Our kids attend the Five Hawks Elementary School on Five Hawks Avenue but there are six other elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school for children to attend. The district picks great teachers and staff members to be a part of the learning experience and our children’s test scores make it show.
