Purcell High School congratulates Senior Student Council officer Aron Barrera on his selection as a Junior Counselor for OASC (Oklahoma Association of Student Councils) BASIC 2025, where he will serve during the July session.
This prestigious leadership role is awarded to only 21 students statewide from a competitive pool of more than 70 applicants. Aron’s selection is especially noteworthy as a first-year OASC participant — BASIC in July 2025 was his very first OASC event — while many other applicants had years of experience, including ADVANCE and multiple leadership workshops.
His leadership, dedication, and heart for serving younger leaders truly set him apart.
We are proud to have him representing PHS this July at Camp BASIC. ❤️🐉

🌟 PHS December Staff of the Month: Bertha Olguin! 🌟
We are thrilled to announce Bertha Olguin, our exceptional Purcell Public Schools custodian, as the Staff Member of the Month! 👏
Though she is temporarily filling in at PHS, her dedication has made a huge impact! Just look at this nomination from a PHS staff member:
"Since she joined our school, the building has been the cleanest I have ever seen it. Students have even commented on how grateful they are for the cleanliness of their restrooms. She is working diligently, yet still greets me with a warm smile. She truly makes a difference in our school. Thank you for making this place shine!" ✨
Thank you, Bertha, for making PHS sparkle! We are so lucky to have you (even if only for a few weeks)! 🧡🖤

Big Dragons + Little Dragons = the BEST way to start a Friday! 🐉❤️
(someone asked me a few weeks ago - What's the point of high school leadership classes......here is your answer!!) Great work Amy Menhusen.
Our 1st hour Leadership class has officially begun their weekly mentoring visits to the elementary school and the bonds are already incredible.
Last week, our Big Dragons prepared and taught math lessons on money to their 2nd grade partners. This week, they returned to help their Little Dragons create a fun Christmas craft. 🎄✨
The smiles, high-fives, and growing confidence on both sides say it all…
Friday mornings have quickly become everyone’s favorite part of the week.
We are so proud of our high school students for stepping up as leaders, mentors, and role models and we are equally proud of our Little Dragons for their excitement, curiosity, and huge hearts.
This mentorship program is off to a magical start! 🐉❤️
More moments to come!
