We couldn't have done it without our amazing STUCO for organizing and leading such a great event, and a special shout-out to STUCO President Adylee Jurado for her warm welcome! 🙌 And of course, big thanks to our cheerleaders and drumline for bringing the energy and helping us kick off the school year with a bang! 📣🥁

Summer's still in full swing but our incredible Purcell Dragons High School custodial team is still hard at work! 🧹✨ Huge shout-out to Helen Reed, Christina King , and Erica Estrada (lead custodian) for their dedication! They're tirelessly making sure our school is sparkling clean and safe for staff and students before the new year. They're truly a vital part of our school operations!

A special shout-out to Christina King, who will be a senior this year at PHS! She's gaining valuable experience this summer through a paid internship as part of the OU preETS BEST STEP camp, which is connected to our PHS Transitions program.

Kudos to our future PHS Dragon leaders! ✨ Incoming freshmen Axel Shobert and Matthew Swanner recently honed their skills at the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Atlanta and Washington D.C. Through visits to historic sites and collaborative simulations, they learned to think critically and act with purpose. Strong student leadership is key to our success, and we're excited to see their contributions. Excellent work, Axel and Matthew! #PHSDragons #LeadershipMatters #WelcomeFreshmen

Big shoutout to our dedicated PHS Cheer team and our amazing new co-coaches, Kassi Buchanan and Hailee Smith! They're already pouring their hearts into preparing for a jam-packed year.

Wishing you all the best for a successful and fun-filled year, PHS Cheer! ✨ #PHSDRAGONPride #CheerLife #HardWorkPaysOff

A huge shout-out to the incredible power of teachers! 🍎✨ David Hilger and Jacob Willing, our amazing band directors, are already hard at work, pouring countless hours into helping our students grow and learn.
