The Perry Township Education Foundation (PTEF) is proud to play a vital role in supporting the Perry Township School District, home to more than 15,757 students across 24 schools and programs. Our mission is to inspire learning, fuel innovation, and remove barriers—empowering educators and students to thrive in every classroom.

Perry Township is a vibrant and diverse community, with 50% of students speaking a second language at home. This rich cultural and linguistic diversity is one of our district’s greatest strengths—and PTEF is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of background, have the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.

Thanks to the dedication of teachers, staff, families, and our broader community, Perry Township consistently achieves a 93% graduation rate—well above state and national averages. PTEF is proud to be a partner in that success.

Where We Make a Difference
PTEF supports every school in the district through:

Helping Hand and Innovative Teaching Grants that bring creative, student-centered ideas to life in classrooms.

Service learning initiatives that connect students to their communities while building real-world skills.

Targeted funding for STEAM programs, literacy initiatives, social-emotional learning, and enrichment opportunities.

Whether it’s helping a teacher pilot a new math intervention, funding books in multiple languages, or creating leadership experiences for students, PTEF is here to amplify what's possible in Perry Township.

Investing in the Future
Every dollar donated to PTEF stays in the township and directly impacts students and teachers. We believe that public education is the foundation of a strong community—and we are grateful to the donors, volunteers, and partners who help make our work possible.

Together, we are building a brighter future for every student in Perry Township.
