About us
Serving one of the fastest-growing communities in the nation, the Ankeny Community School District enjoys a reputation as one of the Midwest’s premier public school districts. United by a commitment to ensure every learner is prepared to achieve a lifetime of personal success, our district offers boundless opportunities in academics, athletics, the arts, and other extracurricular activities. As our community grows, it is becoming increasingly diverse, with close to 20% of our students identifying as people of color. Our district is deeply committed to equity and inclusion and to ensuring the success of all children. We believe all students benefit when they learn from and interact with teachers and leaders from a variety of backgrounds, and so we strive to build a diverse team of exceptional adults laser-focused on doing what is best for the young people in their care. The Ankeny Community School District does not discriminate based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, physical attributes, physical or mental ability or disability, ancestry, political party preference, military affiliation, socioeconomic status, or familial status.

Why pursue the innovative hub instead of a third high school? Cost: A third high school would cost $235-$250 million, triggering the need for a second stadium, which would cost even more. Enrollment Projections: Our two current high schools hold 3,700 students. Building a third high school would leave us with three underutilized buildings. The innovative hub will provide space for students and make more efficient use of resources. We're planning for the future in a smart, sustainable way!

In his latest article, Dr. Pruitt delves into how to balance the need for technology with the restrictions that can be necessary. What are your thoughts on how to achieve the right balance on this issue?
When it comes to striking a balance between the need for and the restriction of technology in our schools, I believe the values and expectations of the community, alongside the district's teaching and learning priorities, should guide the role that technology plays and any restrictions that may be necessary. How do you think schools can find the right balance between traditional teaching approaches and the use of modern technologies to keep students engaged while preparing them for the future?
