Jackie Suchy named Purcell Public Schools Support Person of the Year
I am excited to announce that Jackie Suchy, Purcell Elementary School Secretary, has been selected as the Support Person of the Year for Purcell Public Schools! Jackie began working for Purcell PS in 1990 and has been going strong ever since. Thanks to her sweet granddaughter, Markee, Jacks, for her help in surprising Jackie today.
As the superintendent, I have had the pleasure of working with Jackie for several years. In that time, I have come to know her as a dedicated and hardworking individual who always goes above and beyond in her duties. She is an essential member of our team and has an unwavering commitment to making our schools the best they can be.
Jackie consistently demonstrates outstanding customer service skills and a willingness to help others. She is always accessible, friendly and helpful with students, teachers, staff, and parents. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm for her work are contagious, making everyone feel welcome.
Through Jackie's hard work and dedication, Purcell Elementary School runs like a well-oiled machine. Her attention to detail helps ensure that our students receive the best possible education, and her efforts have contributed to the overall success of our school district.
On behalf of the Purcell Public Schools community, I want to congratulate Jackie on being named our Support Person of the Year. Thank you for all that you do for our students, staff, and families. You are truly an exceptional individual who deserves this recognition and more.

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.
