Congratulations Amber Findley: PHS Staff of the Month. Here is a quote about Amber from a colleague:
"Amber is one of the most beloved teachers in our building. She holds the kids accountable and her expectations are high, but she does it in a way that is wrapped in respect. She truly wants the kids to succeed outside of PHS."
Congratulations to our 2022-23 Top 10 Percent Seniors! This distinguished honor reflects years of dedication to academic excellence. It also reflects the committed service of Purcell Public School teachers from elementary through high school. Well done Dragons!
