Success breeds success at O.H. Perry Academy. Since achieving its ranking as the only CMSD K-8 school in the area to earn an EFFECTIVE rating on the Ohio Department of Education Report Card, O. H. Perry has become the place to be for accomplished students.

The 7th and 8th grade girls basketball team won the Erie Division Championship. The Girl Eagles soared through their second playoff appearance in two years completing a season of nine wins and one loss. Coach Wilburn anticipates that another good team will take the court next year.

Oliver H. Perry also offers the program for Gifted and Talented students for grades two through eight which continues to perform at a high level. One of the only Gifted and Talented programs in the area, it provides challenging material to students who are preparing for rigorous secondary and post-secondary education. “It is O.H. Perry’s focus on academics and social/emotional learning that makes our school a successful and positive educational environment," said principal Sofia Piperis. She cites the dedicated staff at O.H. Perry as one of the reasons students have been successful there.

Look for O.H. Perry students at the East 185th Street Parade on May 18th. The cheerleaders and drill team will be there, as well as the drum corp which seems to impress and entertain audiences wherever they perform. Oliver H. Perry is fortunate to have the support of Senator Voinovich as he helps to celebrate and encourage the students and staff year after year. Along with the annual “Molly Day” celebration that takes place every fall in the memory of Senator Voinovich’s daughter, Senator Voinovich will be featuring a Bike Safety day at O. H. Perry on May 9th. He and Mrs. Voinovich will meet with the students and give out 80 free bike helmets.

O.H. Perry is a proud member of the North Collinwood neighborhood and always welcomes community partnerships because our students benefit from the expertise of people in the community. If you can contribute to the education and accomplishments of our students please call the office. We look forward to meeting you.
