Let's hear it for our amazing Purcell High School staff! 🥳👏
Our coaches went all out for Homecoming dress-up days, and we love their commitment to the theme.
Coach Matt Lohn gave us a perfect throwback to the early 2000s, and Coach Cole Sharp channeled the 90s with some seriously retro baggy and cargo shorts. As for Coach Ethan Scott... well, we're not sure if he was in costume or just dressing for a regular Thursday! 😉
Thanks to all our teachers and staff for getting into the Homecoming spirit and making the week so fun for our students! #DragonPride #PHSHomecoming #DressUpDay 🐉🎉

What a busy few weeks for our Purcell FFA members! They've been incredibly active, showcasing their hard work and dedication.
Our FFA Officer Team kicked things off at the Central Area Chapter Officer Leadership Training (COLT) Conference earlier this month, building valuable leadership skills. Four of our members also participated in the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Capitol Camp, where they gained firsthand experience in the legislative process by debating bills in both the House and Senate.
The McClain County Fair was a huge success for the chapter. Forty members competed in livestock and horse judging contests, and our students submitted an amazing 77 indoor exhibits. The week was capped off with a successful livestock show.
It's truly amazing to see how hard these students and their sponsor, Erica Keen, work to represent Purcell High School. Their commitment to the future of agriculture is clear. Great job, Dragons FFA! 🐉
We will share results from County & State Fair in upcoming newsletter and you can also find them on the Purcell FFA facebook page! Thank you as well to our FFA parents & sponsors!
