Perry High School is a public high school located in Gilbert, Arizona. It opened on July 23, 2007, due to Chandler Unified School District's year-round schedule. This is Chandler Unified School District's first high school located in Gilbert. Perry is a Wi-Fi enabled school with availability in each classroom, removing the need for designated computer labs by allowing Wi-Fi enabled laptops to be brought into the classrooms. The school's design was based on the layout of Basha High School, another school in the Chandler Unified School District. In fact, the schools look extremely similar. All the buildings are the same except Perry doesn't have an "H" building behind the "F" building that Basha does.
Maricopa County Library District - Perry Branch Library
Perry High School's library is also a Maricopa County Library District branch library, named Perry Branch Library. This will be the first public library located in a high school in Gilbert. The library opened June 2007.[2] This is the first public library in the nation to drop the Dewey Decimal System, opting instead for a Bookstore-like system that places Non-fiction books into categories based on subject. [3] This change has brought national attention to the library and provoked debate about the effectiveness of the Dewey Decimal System. [4] The Perry Library hosts several clubs for teens, such as the Fantasy Gaming club, which focuses on games like Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40,000 and homebrewed RPG's, The Animanga club, where teens can disscuss, draw and watch anime and manga. The library also has arts and crafts projects on a regular basis.
