The school board has voted to make the wearing of masks optional for everyone on our school campuses and buses with the stipulation that if the positive rate at any school reaches 3.5%, that school will revert back to a mask mandate for 10 days. After 10 days, if the positive rate is below 3.5% the mask will be optional.

Maria James has been named Teacher of the Year by the Mississippi Rural Education Association!
The Perry County School District would like to announce that Maria James has been selected by the Mississippi Rural Education Association (MSREA) as the recipient of the Teacher of the Year Award for the 4th Congressional District. The Program of Research and Evaluation of Public Schools (PREPS) helps sponsor this award. PREPS is located on the William Carey University campus. She will compete against the other three Congressional award winners for the State award. She is shown receiving a bouquet of flowers from PREPS. They were presented to her by PCSD Superintendent Dr. Scott Dearman and her principal Mr. Shawn Butler.
Maria teaches Kindergarten at South Perry Elementary School. She has taught for 5 years and they have all been in the Perry County School District. She stated, “I know teaching is challenging but I find it very rewarding to know that I can make a difference in the lives of these young children”. Her maternal grandfather practiced medicine in Leakesville. It was his love for the people of Mississippi and the impact he made on their lives that influenced and motivated Maria to make a difference in the lives of the children of Mississippi.
Maria attended the University of Southern Mississippi where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in elementary education in 2016. She is happily married to a wonderful Christian man and they have an energetic, loving two-year-old.

Thank you for supporting our schools! Parent and community support is vital to the success of any school. There’s an opportunity for you to provide feedback to the Mississippi Department of Education on the design of a new school report card that will give you valuable information. The annual report card is a way for parents and communities to know how well their schools are performing and preparing students for the future. What indicators are most important to you?
