Like many communities, Prairie Trail is home to schools, representing every stage from pre-k to college. Uniquely, the developers of Prairie Trail take an active role in supporting education that goes well beyond constructing buildings. They believe in the pursuit of higher education and that the support of business is critical. That support begins at home in terms of financial contributions, collaborative leadership and a dedication to excellence.
With the eyes of the entire nation on furthering education in STEM, we’re proud to recognize Dennis Albaugh, CEO of Albaugh, Inc. and developer of Prairie Trail, who was honored in September 2013 as one of the Top100 CEO Leaders in STEM by STEMconnector. Albaugh credits his success to his decision to pursue an Ag business degree at DMACC, then Area II Community College, when he was offered a $300 scholarship following high school graduation.
