Big congratulations to Daniel Sprague, one of our January Students of the Month!
The son of Rachel Huey and Dustin Nelson, Daniel is a standout senior who has spent the last two years at Mid-America Technology Center training as a CNA and EMT. A member of the National Technical Honors Society, he has also represented the school at the state level in CPR through HOSA.
Daniel is a true trailblazer at Purcell High School. He will be among the first students to earn a Commercial Drone License before graduation!
