Welcome to the Perry County Schools!
Every stakeholder, parent, student, teacher, staff or community member, is a valued member of our school community.

Please be assured that Perry County students will be afforded the finest educational programs and services available.  We are a school district that values education.  During the course of each school year, students will have many enriching learning experiences.  Recognizing that children need to be successful on state and local assessments, we also understand that our programs need to go beyond that.  While our curriculum and instruction is standards-based, we strive to find the appropriate balance between rigor, individual student and teacher interest and creativity, and a desire to ensure that learning is both challenging and fun.

Perry County is a progressive district that lives up to the motto, 
"We Put Kids First!"

Thank you,
John Paul Amis
Superintendent
Perry County Schools
