Purcell Schools swears in new board member. We are honored to welcome Mary Webb, who will begin her term of service beginning with the April Board Meeting. Mary replaces Bill Smith who served for over a decade on the board.
Mrs. Webb graduated from Wayne High School in 1991. In 1993, after attending The University of Oklahoma, she began working at First United Bank, formerly First American Bank. Mary and husband Todd made their home in Purcell in 1996 and are the owners of Golden Years, a residential home in Konawa for adults with mental disabilities. Mary and Todd have two sons, Cody and wife Morgan, Brett and fiancé Johnna. They also have four, soon to be five, grandchildren: Lane, Tripp, Baker, Karter and Legend (coming 4/17). Both of Mary’s children are Purcell alumni and the three school-aged grandchildren are current students in Purcell Schools.
In her spare time, she loves supporting her grandkids in their many adventures, spending time with her friends & family, attending various Dragon events and being a Mimi. Mary has always been a strong supporter of Purcell Schools and looks forward to serving her community in this capacity.
Happy Paraprofessionals Day to all of our Dragon Parapros! We appreciate your service on behalf of our students.
