The Willard D. Purdy Junior High and Vocational School, also known as Purdy School, is a historic school building located on Third Street in Marshfield, Wisconsin, United States. Built in 1919, it was the first junior high school in Marshfield. It was named after a local soldier who died in World War I. The building was designed in the Collegiate Gothic style by Childs & Smith from Chicago. A substantial addition to the school in 1926 increased the size by more than three-fold and was designed by architects Parkinson & Dockendorff from La Crosse, Wisconsin. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
