The willingness of teachers to reflect on their practices and support students in deeper learning, encourages me as a coach and as a partner in learning alongside them. Perry Pride is not just a slogan, but it is what the students and staff bring to all that they do!

The Perry School is an exceptional community to be a part of. Whether it's inside the classroom, or outside on the playground, I've found it to be a learning environment where student voices are elevated and social-emotional learning is valued.
