Paraclete
The Paraclete is a local South Boston partner that is committed to helping our Perry Sharks succeed. Over the years, the Paraclete has been a place for a number of our students to go to after school to continue their learning through academics, enrichment and even cooking! The Perry/Paraclete partnership continue to grow as this amazing partner provides Perry students in grades 4-6 an opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the ISEE test and develop test-taking skills needed for a successful future.

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 leadership, staff, and teachers are, without a doubt, committed to providing an unforgettable educational experience for every child in their school community. As a proud partner, our music team feels equally supported and passionate about amplifying Perry Pride through music every week!
