What a blessing it is to live in a community that invests their most precious gift of time to all Perry County 10th grade students. Around 100 professionals participated in Aspire (career speed dating) yesterday and talked to students about their careers, answered questions and helped students understand the power of social capital. It was a perfect day! #good2bgreen #pickperry.
Students from Commodore Manufacturing presented at the Conexus Indiana Enterprise network session in downtown Indy. Individuals there called Commodore Manufacturing's presentation and company a “mic drop” moment because of the great job they do. Thanks to Mr. Josh Craney for the program he has built. Students from Agriculture and our CIA Enterprise also visited to meet students from other schools and gain ideas about how to grow more enterprise programs at PC. We are proud of our enterprise program and look forward to expanding enterprises across our pathways.
Seniors were at it again #paintingparkingspots. These are so fun! #Classof2023 #Good2bGreen

Attention parents of students in grades Kindergarten-6th. It's a very special opportunity to order keepsake products customized with your child's art.
Right now, your child is creating an amazing piece of artwork at school and soon you’ll have the chance to turn that art into custom keepsake products. This is the perfect opportunity to order items for yourself, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or any other special person in your child’s life. It's a gift that will be treasured forever.
