It's an office makeover at PHS. Stefanie Renfro's Interior Design class asked for some hands-on learning opportunities and we gave them several offices in serious need of a makeover. They have been planning, measuring, designing, and obtaining resources. The remodel begins!
A special thanks to the Purcell High School National Honor Society students for their efforts in hosting a moving tribute to our nation's veterans last week at the Purcell High School Veterans Day Assembly. They represented well the values of service and leadership. Well done!
