Huge news for our students! 🎉 The Purcell Aviation program has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics!
A massive thank you to our amazing teacher, Corryn Breidinger, for her hard work in securing these funds. 👏Corryn and high school science teacher Jack McNeely teach our aviation courses. Corryn also teaches science at the junior high.
This grant will provide our students with a flight simulator, wind tunnels, drones, and a drone course. As we enter the third year of our program, students are on track to earn their commercial drone licenses (FAA Part 107) before they graduate! 🚁This year will be our first students to obtain their licenses at the end of their junior year!
We're also excited to announce that we're now offering Aviation 1 to freshmen as a physical science credit.
This is a huge step in preparing our students for high-paying careers in a fast-growing field! For more information, please contact Principal Jason Sanders at sandersj@purcellps.org.

Lunchtime at high school isn't just about eating—it's where friendships are formed and memories are made! It's a key time for students to relax, connect, and remember that school can be fun, too.
Even though we allow phones during lunch, we've noticed a great trend: many students are choosing to remain off their screens and engage with their friends. This is yet another positive result of the cell phone ban, and we love seeing these strong peer relationships develop!

Day two of our new cell phone ban is in the books, and I'm so impressed with how our students have adjusted (as they always do). It's been incredible to see them engaging more with one another—I've seen students talking more, reading books more, playing games, and even passing notes in class ! 📝
This change is a huge step in the right direction for our school community and will have huge positive impacts on student mental health. Thank you to our parents for your support as we take on this new challenge. We are off to an amazing start! 🚀
