Perkins Local School District, located in Sandusky, Ohio, serves approximately 2400 students in preschool through grade 12. Our mission statement, “Perkins Schools...Igniting Minds for the 21st Century,” sets the tone to prepare our students to compete in a global society that requires more advanced levels of Communication, Collaboration, Critical thinking and Creative problem solving. To prepare
our students we believe it is essential to change “age-old” traditional teacher-led education to provide more opportunities for students to actively engage in their own learning. We believe students come first; with focus, research and reflection, innovation and excellence occur in a school culture; developing strong partnerships is based on trust and honest communication; and students need to be challenged with high expectations as life-long learners. In accordance with our 21 st Century focus and core beliefs, Perkins is a One-to- One Laptop district, recognized nationally by Apple, Inc. as one of a select few districts named an Apple Promising District.
