Purcell Dragon Pride Marching Band had a great performance last night in Claremore at the OBA State Marching Contest. In prelims they placed 11th out of 23 and won "High Visual" in 2A. In the finals they jumped 3 spots (very uncommon) to finish 8th overall and 2ND IN CLASS 2A! Congratulations Band students, director David Hilger, assistant director Jacob Willing, and our amazing band parents and volunteers. These students work so hard throughout the year and we are incredibly proud of how they represent our school and community! I've included pics from their performance Thursday night @ Conger Field.

Good luck PHS Softball @ State! Such a fun morning celebrating our softball girls. Special thanks to Purcell PD, Fire Department, and EMS for the escort. Thanks as well to PHS Leadership and Amy Stone, PHS Cheer, and Band for giving our team the send off they deserve! #phsdragons

Service is one of our core values @ PHS. Purcell FCCLA sponsor Stefanie Renfro does a tremendous job of embedding this value into her lessons and activities. Please read below:
Each year, PHS FCCLA members focus on ways that they can serve others in their community. This year, members have chosen to focus on the residents of Purcell’s nursing homes and care centers.
Today, FCCLA members volunteered at Purcell Care Center. The students planned, prepared, and organized a craft project to do with the residents with the hopes to provide fun, entertainment, and social interaction for the residents. The activity was a success for both the residents and the students.
Our PHS Chapter attended the Oklahoma TSA (Technology Student Association) Lead Conference today in Guthrie. The purpose of TSA is to promote STEM and Leadership through competitions. I'm very pleased with the growth of our high school TSA program and credit our student leaders and sponsors April Trumbo & Paul Wollenberg. Sophomore McKenna Martin is a STATE OFFICER (state reporter) which is a pretty big deal! Way to go McKenna and all TSA students.
The aerospace industry is the fastest growing industry in Oklahoma. This industry offers exciting and high-paying jobs. Career Techs & High Schools are partnering to provide our students a pathway from high school/career tech to work. We are excited to be a part of this progress. Our Aviation 1 students, under the guidance of veteran PHS teacher Jack McNeely, launched their hot air balloons this week as they learn the basics of flight! #phsdragons
We are so proud of our softball players, coaches, and managers and wish them the best of luck this Thursday at State. A special thanks to Kim Praytor with Glitzy Grams Yard Cards for the awesome sign in front of our school! #phsdragons
