Purcell High School

PHS Staff recently hosted their annual Christmas party thanks to our Climate & Culture team led by Melissa Feroli. We appreciate their efforts to provide our staff a fun evening of fellowship. A big thanks to Pinot's Palette owner Jon Corea (and PHS art teacher) for hosting.

Purcell High School students recently visited Dibble for the OASC student exchange, hosted by Dibble Stuco. We all boarded the Stuco Express and spent the day connecting with other student leaders through team-building activities. One of the highlights was decorating Christmas stockings for a local nursing home, which added a festive and meaningful touch to the visit. It was a fantastic experience that strengthened our bonds and fostered a sense of community. #phsdragons

Congratulations to our PHS & PJH Music Theater & Set Design students for their wonderful performance of "High School Musical" last weekend. I heard so many positive comments from those who attended. I'm thankful for the leadership and work of director Cindy Donaldson. Her work is growing our fine arts program and offering many kids new opportunities to find connections to school and peers. Important work! #phsdragons
