Welcome to Ag! My name is Mrs. Purswell, and I am eager to start my third year of teaching at Hardin High School. This year I will be teaching Principles of Agriculture Food and Natural Resources (Principles), Advanced Animal Science, and Veterinary Medical Applications. I expect this year to be filled with lots of learning!

My family has bred and raised show hogs for the past 18 years, and we have actively been part of the industry locally and statewide. I plan on not only continuing to support and give back to the industry that gave so much to me, but to now teach the new generations why agriculture is so important to our everyday lives. 

I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science in 2020. During school and after graduation, I have been actively working as a Veterinary Technician, and I loved every minute of it! I recently got married in February of 2022. I have 5 fur babies at home, all whom we have rescued over the past few years. When I'm not in school, I enjoy traveling with my aviation enthusiast (my husband), spending time with my family as much as possible, and sitting on the sidelines of any livestock show!
