Purcell High School

Summer break is a needed time for students and staff to refresh and prioritize family time. However learning gaps are greatest for students following the summer months. Students who stay engaged during summer tend to experience smaller gaps. I applaud our coaches and sponsors who often give their own time to keep our students engaged throughout the summer. Example: The PHS Dragon Pride Marching Band hosted newbie camp last week with incoming freshmen, new members, and leadership team. Great job David Hilger and Jacob Willing!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR ALERTS. We everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer break. Please take notice of important summer dates. Also remember to complete online registration (link below) to make your enrollment process easier! https://purcellok.sites.thrillshare.com/page/enrollment

We honor and remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice serving their country on this Memorial Day. Purcell High School
