Alumni Update
WE ARE THE PERRY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
We have been in existence since 1992. We meet the first Wednesday of every month. We have various fund raisers to generate money for scholarships for graduation seniors. This is accomplished by having our annual dance in March with “Jimmy & The Soul Blazers”. We also sell various Perry merchandise including shirts, jewelry, wood miniatures of Perry schools, ball caps, decals, and pens to name a few. You will see us at the Stark County Fair and at the home football games selling merchandise and memberships. The Alumni has donated to the CPR project and annually to the “after prom party”. We support Perry Students. In the near future, we hope to have more events where Perry alumni can get together for fun and fellowship. We are always looking for new members. It only costs $10.00 a year to join. Help us grow into a bigger and better organization for Perry grads.
