Perry Public School District, Lake County, Ohio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perry Public Schools[1] is a school system located in Perry, in Lake County, Ohio.

The U.S. Department of Education's No Child Left Behind-Blue Ribbon Schools Program [2] named Perry High School as a Blue Ribbon School from 1994-1996; Perry Middle School achieved the same status in 1999 and 2000 (one of only about 20 schools statewide in that year.) The schools (Elementary, Middle, & High) are all connected on a beautiful, expansive campus, sometimes referred to as Perry University. At the high school, connected to the Community Fitness Center (CFC), there is the Alumni Stadium. A track runs around the recently redone,with artificial grass football field- which also doubles as a soccer field. The football field was redone in 2006-07. It was previously artificial turf.

School colors are traditionally red and white. However, there has been a contemporary push in the direction of black as one of the colors, with opposition coming from staunch alumni.
