Secondary Honors Coursework

Perry Local Schools is committed to providing a rigorous and supportive learning environment for our advanced learners. At the secondary level—including Pfeiffer Intermediate, Edison Middle School, and Perry High School—we offer a diverse range of courses designed to challenge students identified in the following areas:

Superior Cognitive Ability
Creative Thinking
Specific Academic Areas (Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies)
Visual and Performing Arts

Our Instructional Model

Courses counting as gifted service are led by general education teachers who receive ongoing professional development and specialized support. This collaboration is facilitated by our Gifted Coordinator, who holds a Gifted Intervention Specialist (GIS) license, ensuring that curriculum and instruction meet the unique needs of gifted learners.

Note on Course Composition: To foster a high-achieving environment, gifted service courses include a blend of both gifted-identified students and high-ability learners.
