This week, we are proud to celebrate Paraprofessional Appreciation Day by honoring four of the hardest-working members of our Dragon family!
Tammy King, Penny Richmond, Susan Bennett, and Rita Clark are the ultimate "behind-the-scenes" heroes at Purcell High School. Whether they are providing one-on-one instructional support, helping students navigate daily challenges, or stepping in wherever a hand is needed, their impact is felt in every corner of our building.
Their patience, dedication, and heart for our students make a world of difference every single day. We are incredibly lucky to have this team in our corner!
Please join us in thanking Tammy, Penny, Susan, and Rita for everything they do for our students and staff.

Ray Samford and Jack McNeely headed to Stillwater last week for an intensive drone building and flying workshop.
The trip was a huge success—both teachers successfully built and brought home a brand-new drone to be used right here in our Purcell Aviation classes.
A special shoutout to Ray Samford, who was even featured in the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics official press release! Check out the photo—look at that concentration as he maneuvers his drone through the course.
We are so proud of our staff for staying on the cutting edge of technology to provide the best opportunities for our students. The sky is the limit! 🐉✈️

I spent some time in Jasmine Quinonez’s English 1 classroom this week, and what I saw was absolutely amazing.
Our Dragons aren't just reading Shakespeare—they’re living it! The class took classic passages and "translated" them into today's English to bridge the gap between the 16th century and 2024. But the real magic happened when they hit the "stage."
To keep things high-energy and engaging, Ms. Quinonez added a twist to their performances. Students had to act out their scenes while:
🦘 Playing hopscotch during their skits
🗣️ Using hilarious accents
⚔️ Engaging in sword fights
...and many more creative surprises!
This creative approach had the students laughing, moving, and—most importantly—developing a deep, practical understanding of Shakespearean writing. It was a masterclass in making "difficult" literature fun and accessible!
Huge shoutout to Ms. Quinonez for bringing this much energy to her classroom. 🐉📖
