In 2008 Purcell opened the doors to the new high school, replacing this building pictured above. This was the high school from like 400B.C. to 2008, then it was repurposed to be the new jr. high for Purcell. I was lucky enough to attend this school for two years. These two years of school were by far the worst years of I have ever experienced. This building was disgusting; moldy ceiling tiles everywhere, flooring peeling up, nasty smells, just all around a terrible school. The board of education finally decided to build a new jr. high this year. Good for those kids, but that death trap of a school built character, and none of these upcoming generations will ever have to face adversity in their plush new jr. high at Purcell.
