The Issue

For many students at Eagle Pass High School, attending classes should be about learning and growing in a supportive environment. However, this is far from what we experience daily with Ivy Purcell, who holds an administrative position at the school. Her behavior has become highly detrimental to our scholastic environment, and a change must be made.

Ivy Purcell has repeatedly exhibited rudeness and offensive behavior towards students. She continually calls us names and puts us down, extinguishing the very encouragement and support we seek from our educational mentors. These actions not only impact our self-esteem but also hinder our ability to focus and succeed academically. Our school should be a place of safety and respect, not intimidation.

Further deepening the issue, Ivy Purcell displays favoritism towards her daughter, who also attends the school. This favoritism is blatantly obvious and creates a hostile environment for those who feel unfairly targeted by her personal biases. It is crucial that all students at Eagle Pass High School are treated with equality and fairness, regardless of personal relationships.

The presence of such behavior from individuals in positions of influence is unacceptable and harms our community's integrity. By removing Ivy Purcell from Eagle Pass High School, we can begin to rebuild a respectful and supportive academic environment conducive to success for all students.

Please consider signing this petition to ensure that Eagle Pass High School remains a safe and fair place for every student. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that our voices are heard. Sign this petition to take a stand against unfair treatment and favoritism in our school.
