Back to School Information

2015-2016

The outstanding staff members of Perry Townships Schools, who impact the lives of the

children on a daily basis, are the key ingredient to the success of the school district.

I am blessed to serve the Perry Township community as the Superintendent of

Schools. I am also one of the fortunate people that found a calling that I truly embrace.

The ability to help children and their families realize their educational dreams is a very

rewarding experience. I look forward to the 2015-16 school year with excitement and

high expectations.

Dr. Thomas J. Little, Jr.
