School Profile:
Peru High School was built in 1971 to house 1100 students. Our current enrollment is 769 students in grades 9-12. This decline in student enrollment is partially explained by economic changes, resulting in employment cuts, which have occurred in the 35 years since our school was built. As a result of these cultural and economic factors,many Peru High School students annually fill either full or part time jobs in the area.
Our students come from a wide variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Because our philosophy is that all students,regardless of their backgrounds, can learn,we must build relationships which promote achievement.
Vision Statement:
Peru High School will utilize all available resources to ensure that all students become life -long learners, are of high character, and achieve to their fullest potentials in a global society.
Mission Statement:
Peru High School provides a safe and positive learning environment that enables every student to become a productive citizen in a global community through instruction and guidance in the areas of critical thinking, problem solving,cultural awareness, creativity,physical wellness, and technological proficiency.
