The Mid-Prairie High School gym has a new look. The walls were recently repainted, and now includes large murals of Mid-Prairie’s Hawk mascot.

Principal Jim Cayton explains he, Athletic Director Steve Hollan and Superintendent Mark Schneider agreed it would be a good idea and began working with an artist who has painted gyms at other schools in southeast Iowa.

Cayton adds the same artist will be painting the Middle School gym later this week.
