Perry High School

Perry High School, c. 2007 (http://suntecconcrete.net/images/cms.../268_large.jpg)

Perry High School opened its doors in 2007. Located at Queen Creek and Val Vista, Perry was the last of three high schools that opened to accomadate Chandler's growing population, with Hamilton and Basha being the others. Perry prides itself on giving students access to technology in the classroom. Campus-wide WiFi, eleven different computer labs, and CPS chalkboards in every classroom are just a few of the technological advantages Perry offers (http://mychandlerschools.org ). Perry High also possesses one of the top drama programs in the state of Arizona.
More than 3,000 students are enrolled at Perry. The three core values of the school are: Pride, Progress, and Purpose. A Puma is to develop Pride in "themselves, their school, and their community"; demonstrate Progress "in their ability to think critically in a technologically advanced society"; and realize "their Purpose as a responsible citizen" (http://mychandlerschools.org ).

About Perry High School...

Since opening in the fall of 2007 with approximately 800 students, Perry has become a prime destination for families from across the east valley, currently serving a student body of more than 3,200. Centered around academics, athletics and activities, we are a well-rounded and active community of learners. Students have a wide variety of subjects and courses from which to choose, from Career and Technical Education, Advanced Placement and dual enrollment, to drawing/painting, psychology and dance. We have 90+ student-led clubs on campus, many of them community or service driven. Others are just plain FUN (Harry Potter and Unicycle)! Our men’s/women’s athletic teams are consistently in the conversation for state championships, and often recognized not only for their endeavors on the field or court but in the classroom, as well.

Recognized by the state as an excelling school since its inception, Perry distinguishes itself by providing an enriched environment where students can develop Pride in themselves, their school, and their community; where they can demonstrate Progress in their ability to think critically in a technologically advanced society; and where they can realize their Purpose as responsible citizens.

We are Puma Nation.
