    I liked Purcell because it was very welcoming and diverse! I felt at home when I went there. I also was the fourth generation of my family going to Purcell so it was cool having some of the same teachers as my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Purcell was also so diverse, it taught me about many different cultures and I felt I was ready to meet all different types of people at College.

    We are thrilled with this school. Transferred our child from another Catholic high school because the other school was mediocre, with teachers who seemed disengaged from their work. The teachers at Purcell are amazing -- dedicated, enthusiastic, with a real love for their work and an understanding of the impact they have. They have challenged my child and show deep respect to every student. We couldn't be happier with our experience.
    I am having an amazing time at Purcell. I was able to meet life long friends, participate in sports, and develop a strong educational foundation. The teachers are extremely involved in the effort that a student puts into their work, and are always around if there's any help needed. It's impossible for a student to attend Purcell and not get closer with at least one teacher there. The work can seem overwhelming at times, but I know that it’s only preparing me for life after high school.
