Purcell High School

Purcell High School Cheer recently participated in J & C cheer camp. The team was able to work on a new cheer, dance and stunts, while also working on team bonding. They earned the spirit stick every evening, and brought it home from camp. They also brought home the Champions Cup. Great job Coach Grant Gish & Cheer Squad! 5 members of the team were selected as J&C All-Star’s including seniors Mili Antonio, Kate Ginn & Paisley Knowles, junior Ellie Reed, and freshman Whitney Bruehl. They have earned the opportunity to participate in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Seniors Jaci Deaton and Kate Ginn were selected for Army All American Bowl participation, allowing them to cheer at the high school All-American game. They were also asked to return next year as staff members. Kate Ginn was awarded Top Gun Senior for her Motions & Whitney Bruehl was a Freshman finalist. Senior Paisley Knowles was selected for the Leadership Award for her leadership skills. Overall a fun-filled week with a positive impact and outlook for a good season!

Healthcorp is a program, sponsored by the Chickasaw Nation, that promotes healthy habits for teenagers at PHS. We are grateful for their impact amongst our students. Please check out the linked graphics to learn more about their work last year. Presley Hayes, Regional Program Director, works directly in our school and classrooms. Hydration Stations, Healthy Teen Relationships: Red Flags vs. Green Flags, and Campus Clean-Up Day were just a few of their big initiatives that positively impacted our school. #phsdragons

Summer break is a needed time for students and staff to refresh and prioritize family time. However learning gaps are greatest for students following the summer months. Students who stay engaged during summer tend to experience smaller gaps. I applaud our coaches and sponsors who often give their own time to keep our students engaged throughout the summer. Example: The PHS Dragon Pride Marching Band hosted newbie camp last week with incoming freshmen, new members, and leadership team. Great job David Hilger and Jacob Willing!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR ALERTS. We everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer break. Please take notice of important summer dates. Also remember to complete online registration (link below) to make your enrollment process easier! https://purcellok.sites.thrillshare.com/page/enrollment
