A Little History!

The Potomac Greenough Community Center is the heart of our valley and a testament to the determination of local residents. Built in 1978 by community volunteers using local timber that was milled on site, the center was created to provide a dedicated space for public gatherings, community events, and athletic programs the valley had long needed. It was incorporated the same year and received non-profit status in 1995. The Community Center continues to operate independently under its own mission, by-laws, and community leadership. After more than four decades, the center remains a symbol of Potomac’s independence and spirit while providing a critical gathering place for a wide range of clubs, organizations, private events and activities that are based in the Potomac Greenough valley.

The Community Center is also proud to play a critical role in the daily operations of the Potomac School. The Community Center and the School are entirely separate businesses with independent legal and financial structures. The Community Center is an independent 501(c)3 organization while Potomac School is a taxpayer funded independent public school district in Montana. Our partnership includes providing tenant services to the School for designated areas. The Center currently hosts school classrooms, lunch program, physical education classes and Pioneer League sports programs. Outside of those hours, the building returns fully to its broader purpose as a community gathering place.
