We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Perry High School has truly been my home for the past four years. I have been a part of the Partners Club and the Weightlifting Club, and I've had the opportunity to contribute to the community. Additionally, I have been on the Perry High varsity team for all four years. The best part of my high school experience has been helping those in need—taking them under my wing and being a big brother to them. When I graduate, I will always remember Perry High School as my home, and I plan to return and give back to my community.

Like every school we have our bad days but at Perry even a bad day can be fun, and I know this is all gonna sound stereotypical. but the more you do the more fun you'll have if you do nothing but go to school your probably going to be bored but Perry offers a wide variety of sports, clubs, and other activities. everyday can't be perfect but Perry gets pretty close cause even if we all don't get along every day we can agree that we're pretty great on others.

I am a senior at Perry high. I've been here all 4 years and my time here has been some time to remember! The memories made with Teachers and students are amazing but there are a few teachers who don't teach to the full potential. Nonetheless i've learned so much and i'm so thankful and excited to become a Perry high alumni!

We continue to enjoy the leadership, students and families that make up PHS. Great work by all to give our kids the best education. You're going to get a teachers personal opinion anywhere you go, but that's part of the learning experience. As a whole, we are beyond grateful for PHS!

This school allows religious bullying and even uses Bible quotes played over the loudspeaker during band performances. The school does not want people of diverse backgrounds attending their program. They do their best to scare non Christians away. The theme of Adam and Eve paradise lost should not b...
