Earlier this week, Mr. Ray Samford attended the Oklahoma Aerospace & Aeronautics training for aviation educators, and he is bringing something huge back to Purcell High School!
The training gave Mr. Samford a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow as an educator, but the excitement didn't stop in the classroom. At the conclusion of the event, the educators were treated to an OKC Comets baseball game filled with treats, prizes, and giveaways.
During the event, Mr. Samford won the ultimate prize for our school: a Redbird Jay Velocity Flight Simulator! 🛩️🎮
This incredible $5,000 piece of equipment is coming straight to our aviation classroom, giving our students hands-on, high-tech experience as they learn the ins and outs of flight.
Thank you, Mr. Samford, for your dedication to expanding your skills and for securing this amazing resource for our students. The sky is the limit for our Purcell aviators! 🔴⚫️🦅

Members recently volunteered at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, where they joined others in helping fight hunger in our community. Through their combined efforts, an incredible 2,200 meals were packed for individuals and families in need.
This experience not only allowed students to give back, but also helped them grow as leaders, build teamwork skills, and see the real impact of service. We are so proud of these students for stepping up and making a difference!
Senior ads are also listed on this website under the yearbooks if you wish to purchase one for your senior.
