Road Map to Success
Purcell Marian has created a program called Road Map to Success with the purpose of teaching our students the soft and professional skills needed to be successful in their post-graduate careers. Purcell Marian students will have the opportunity to participate in mini-workshops throughout the year with this in mind. If you have any questions about the Road Map to Success program, please contact Mr. David Brown or Mr. Abasi Key. 
 
End of the 1st Quarter/Tutoring Time
The end of the 1st quarter is two and a half weeks away. Students are encouraged to seek additional help if needed. Purcell Marian tutoring time is a great opportunity to receive this help. Tutoring time is available Tuesday and Thursday from 2:45 pm - 3:30 pm in the library (see below). Remember, per OHSAA rules, student athletes must pass any 5 classes by the end of each quarter. If a student is deemed ineligible (not passing 5 classes), they are ineligible for the whole quarter following the quarter that just ended.
