Welcome to the website for Tower Rock Elementary!

Tower Rock is a rural elementary school located in the bluffs west of the Sauk Prairie community. Approximately 235 students come to us each day from a large geographic region. In 2015, Tower Rock was completely renovated and expanded to serve 4K through 5th graders. Surrounding farms and a specially designed ag room allow us to make our agriculture education emphasis come alive for students. (Our chickens also help with that.) We also work to integrate Spanish language and the arts into our curriculum.

Tower Rock has a long history of connections with families who live in this beautiful part of the state. Many community members and parents partner with our school to share expertise with our students. This, coupled with a dynamic staff, allows students to learn to think critically, collaborate effectively and care for those around them.

A thank you goes out to the entire Sauk Prairie community for supporting the referendum that allowed us to teach in a beautifully modern school. With the break-out learning spaces and up-to-date technology, we are ready to take on the challenge of guiding our 21st century learners. We love our learning community and would be excited to share it with you any time. Please stop by when you can. Together we soar.

Sincerely,
Kelly Petrowski,
Principal, Tower Rock Elementary
