Dear Dragon Families,
The holiday season gives us the opportunity to appreciate the many wonderful people around us. I would like to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes and express my deepest gratitude for your ongoing support and partnership in providing the best education possible for our students.
We are committed to maintaining safe, clean, and appropriate learning spaces for all students. I am thrilled to share that we have been actively working on improving our facilities to create an environment that enhances student learning and safety. Maintaining our campuses demonstrates the pride we feel in the Purcell community each and every day.
Purcell Public Schools strives to provide students with opportunities to explore new talents and interests through the Fine Arts, STEM program, athletics and academic offerings to help them find joy in learning. Our dedicated educators work to nurture engaging and innovative learning experiences that inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. We are committed to creating an atmosphere where every student feels valued, respected and empowered.
During this holiday season, let us all embrace the spirit of gratitude and joy as we celebrate with loved ones. Wishing you all the best as we look forward to the new year and the promises it brings for a bright future.
Always Proud to be a Dragon,
Sheli McAdoo, Ph.D.
Superintendent
