Due to the enhanced risk of severe weather on Friday, we are moving our Senior Night Festivities and Football Game to Thursday. Senior night will be before the game. Kickoff will be at 7.
This past Friday, we celebrated the 1972 Purcell State Championship Football Team. Purcell PS presented to the team a Purcell PS Board of Education Resolution honoring the team. City Council Member Theda Engert presented the team with a Proclamation from the City of Purcell naming October 28th "Purcell High School Dragons Football 1972 Class A State Football Champions Day". She also presented the proclamation to Superintendent Sheli McAdoo and Athletic Director Rick Hammer. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special for our 1972 Championship Football Team. "Once a Dragon, Always a Dragon."
