I'm currently a student at Perquimans High School, and I've really enjoyed my time here. I'm involved in Beta club and have also been in HOSA. I played soccer the whole i've been here which supplied me with a nice community and many friendships. The staff is super nice and always willing to work with you and help fix the problem to whatever works best.

I had the opportunity to get my Associate's degree while in high school at a very reduced cost. This saved me thousands of dollars and two years of my time. It was a struggle to get the ball rolling due to deep rooted nepotism, but my younger brother is reaping rewards for his academic capability. This school system is one of the best in the surrounding area.

Perquimans County High School is a okay school. We have our ups and downs. They will definitely have you ready for college. They have very good teachers but there is somethings they can change. Another thing they are hard on you about the dress code.
