Dragons Are Fired Up for Football Season! 🏈
What a productive summer it's been for Purcell Dragons Football! They had a fantastic turnout at our recent Youth Camp, inspiring the next generation of Dragons. Our junior high and high school athletes have also been putting in serious work during Summer Pride, building strength and camaraderie. 💪

With football season fast approaching, get ready to cheer on your Dragons as they kick off the season on September 5th @ Lindsay! For now, our athletes are taking a well-deserved break during OSSAA Dead Week, which runs through July 6th.

Let's go, Dragons! 🐉

🎉 Huge shout-out to Purcell High School junior Miguel Flores for being the first PHS student to attend the Youth Leadership Forum this summer! 🤩 Miguel dedicated five days to intensive training, focusing on self-advocacy, leadership, and exploring diverse career paths. He even had the amazing opportunity to meet with state legislators! This experience was well-earned, as Miguel went through a selection process, submitting an application, essay, and two teacher recommendations, followed by an interview. A big round of applause to Miguel for his hard work and dedication! And a special thank you to PHS Teacher and Transitions leader Jenny Allen-Price for her invaluable support! 🙌 #PurcellHighSchool #YouthLeadership #StudentSpotlight #LeadershipTraining #MakingADifference

Get ready, future leaders! 🚀 The Purcell High School Transitions Program just wrapped up an amazing Employment Camp!
