The outstanding staff members of Perry Township 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 2014-2015 school year with excitement and high
expectations.
Dr. Thomas J. Little, Jr.
Superintendent
