As we approach the end of another successful school year, we’re reminded of how much we have to celebrate—including the outstanding leadership that helps make it all possible. Please join us in honoring our Superintendent, Dr. Sheli McAdoo, a true servant leader who leads with integrity, compassion, and vision. We are proud to announce that Dr. McAdoo has been named District 16 Superintendent of the Year by the Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA), an honor based on nominations from fellow District 16 administrators. This recognition highlights what we already know: Dr. McAdoo is a passionate advocate for Purcell Public Schools and a dedicated supporter of school leaders throughout the region. She will be formally recognized this summer as part of a distinguished group of finalists for OASA's State Superintendent of the Year. Please see the attached press release as we celebrate this well-deserved honor. We appreciate the years of dedication and commitment Dr. McAdoo has provided to our students, staff, and the entire Purcell community. https://5il.co/3f6gv
