Perkiomen Stories
In the last 150 years, there have been so many students, faculty, and families who have contributed to our school's legacy. Each has had their own Perkiomen story, made up of significant milestones and everyday moments.
There has been growth and change, and each chapter of our history has been marked by resilience, growth, and a steadfast commitment to empowering students to risk becoming their best.
In celebrating our 150th anniversary, we honor not only our past but also look ahead with anticipation and optimism. The spirit of innovation and collaboration that defines our school will continue to guide us as we embrace this new chapter.
Do you have a Perkiomen story to share? Email us at communications@perkiomen.org and we may feature it here and at our event on October 25.
