Perry Township’s English Learners (EL) Program serves as an advocate for all language minority students. We are committed to fostering the acquisition of English language skills necessary for full transition into a regular academic program and participation in the total school community. We are dedicated to providing programs, practices, and services which reflect the changing educational and cultural needs of our students.
