Purcell High School

Aviation 1 students recently designed and launched hot air balloons as well as designed and tested wind tunnels. Aviation 1 is part of a four year program that provides students an opportunity to obtain a commercial drone license before they graduate. Aviation 1 is a foundational course that teaches students basic concepts of aerodynamics and flight. Aviation 1 is taught by Purcell Junior High Science teacher Corrynn Breidinger. #phsdragons

I was very impressed with the work of our 9th grade physical science classes taught by veteran PHS teacher Jack McNeely. They were working on their acid and bases lab with a goal of determining whether a liquid was an acid or base. Many of us probably remember working on a science lab when attending school. This type of learning still combines all the elements of good instruction: discovery, inquiry, collaboration, and higher order thinking. Mr. McNeely teaches physical science, AP Physics, Anatomy & Zoology, and Aviation 2 at PHS. We appreciate his long service to the school and community and his dedication to his classes. Well done Jack! #phsdragons

Congratulations to the following students (see graphic) with perfect attendance during the 1st Quarter. No absences and no tardies! Good attendance is fundamental to student success. Students with good attendance tend to do better academically, build stronger social skills, and experience professional success after high school (colleges and employers place great value on good attendance). Great job students and parents! #phsdragons
