Mission Statement
Perry Local School District builds meaningful relationships to inspire every student to grow, achieve, and contribute
Vision Statement
Perry Panthers grow with purpose, pride, and the pursuit of excellence.
The Ohio Department of Education & Workforce defines students in the process of acquiring the English Language as learners whose native or home language is other than English and whose difficulties in listening, speaking, reading &/or writing in English may impact their academic success in classrooms where English is the mode of instruction.
Perry recognizes and honors the full linguistic repertoire of our multilingual students. We aim to accelerate the development of English language skills and academics by providing evidence-based instruction taught by highly qualified educators who participate in ongoing professional learning. All classroom content teachers are expected to provide appropriate scaffolds and supports based on the students’ level of proficiency, the English Language Proficiency Standards, and content & academic needs of the students.
Connect with Purpose
We build relationships rooted in respect and belonging. Every interaction is an opportunity to show care, empathy, and trust, creating a supportive environment where students and staff are valued and contribute to something greater than themselves.
Grow through Perseverance
We grow by meeting challenges with courage and curiosity. Through self-reflection and a willingness to take risks, we model what it means to keep moving forward. By embracing each obstacle as an opportunity to learn, we encourage one another to persevere and continue growing.
Strive for Excellence
We take pride in doing our best, setting high expectations, and continuously improving together. By holding ourselves and one another to high standards, we create a culture where effort, integrity, and achievement are celebrated.
