Purdy’s importance to Perry
Purdy is still regarded as one of the most dominant high school football quarterbacks ever. His impact and influence on the school have remained even six years since his last game as a Puma.
Perry made this Friday “BrockNation Day” at the school. Free T-shirts were given out to each student to show support for their former QB.
Are you ready for BrockNation?
Your FREE T-Shirts are here!
Â
Stop by the Front Office by Attendance tomorrow during the school day (7am to 2:30pm) and receive your FREE BrockNation T-shirt!

Having a player who is performing at the highest level of football come from Perry gives the school’s current football team and players more motivation than ever.
Street location
The new “Brock Purdy Way” is located on Perry Puma Drive where the school currently stands. Now all those who pass by the school will recognize the NFC champion and 2024 MVP candidate.
