Perham has great teachers, and I loved my time in sports. I didn't like that there wasn't as many classes as a larger high school, but I understand that- for the size- Perham High School had a lot to offer in classes.

I absolutely loved the science and and agricultural opportunities available. The ability to take college level courses and attain my AA degree in high school is an experience I will forever be grateful for.

Perham High School is a place I will likely not look back on fondly as a whole. While there are some aspects of it I enjoyed, there are many things that I despise about it. Being an LGBTQ+ student there are times where I have feared for my safety and seen active discrimination from other students.
