Congratulations to the Perry Central Band on an outstanding achievement! Last Friday, they earned Gold at the ISSMA Concert Band Competition, receiving top marks for both their performance and their sight-reading skills. Special thanks to Band Director Andrea Clark for her leadership and dedication in guiding the group to this success.
The Communication Café & Rolling Pragmatic Pantry Cart visited our elementary staff last Friday for a surprise and delight experience! While students worked hard on their R-blend words, teachers and staff were treated to a “Caramel Apple Bar” as a small token of appreciation. Our student helpers also got to enjoy a few treats in recognition of their hard work and support! A big thank you to the PC Education Foundation, our cafeteria staff for preparing the apples, and the Elementary Office for purchasing them. We appreciate all you do to make these special moments possible!

Our #EarlyCollege program is all about giving students options—whether that’s graduating sooner, saving on tuition, or chasing a second degree. It’s about more than just grades; it’s about being ready for what comes next.

Cohen Edwards, Class of 2025 WKU Mechanical Engineering – Being an early college student has helped me in many ways when it comes to being prepared for college. Taking these classes in high school gave me a clear sense of what a college class looks like on a day-to-day basis, which helped me adjust to the pace and workload. Additionally, being an early college student allowed me to enter college as a junior, which meant I could immediately take classes related to my major without having to focus on many general education requirements.

Madison Kelly, Class of 2024 - Indiana University - The Early College program significantly benefited me coming into college. I was able to bypass all gen ed classes and jump right into my prerequisites for ICORE. It saved me so much time and took a lot of stress off of freshman year. I highly recommend taking advantage of this program.

Julia Walsh, Class of 2025 – Animal Science/Pre-Vet – Purdue University – Early college programs at Perry Central have helped me significantly at Purdue. Despite being a freshman, my transcript classifies me as a junior by credits. Not only that, but thanks to these early college classes, I have already completed all of my general education requirements, allowing me to jump straight into courses for my major. In fact, next semester I will be taking only animal science courses along with organic chemistry. I was also able to skip an introductory-level biology class and go directly into the next level of general biology. Overall, the early college program helped me get ahead in my education and begin taking major-specific courses as soon as I arrived at Purdue.

Madelyn Kelly, Class of 2024 - WKU Nursing - Taking early college classes in high school was one of the best decisions I made. Walking into freshman year at WKU, I already felt more confident, prepared, and independent. I felt like I was ahead of the game.

Madelynne Elmer, Class of 2022 – WKU Math Education – Being part of the early college program in high school gave me opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise. It helped prepare me for college by building strong study habits and time management skills that have helped me succeed. I was also able to earn college credits early, which gave me a head start and made the transition into college feel much smoother.
