What Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School does

Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School (JSHS) is part of the Commodore Perry School District, a K-12 public school district established in 1955 and headquartered at 3002 Perry Highway in Hadley, Pennsylvania. The district operates two campuses — an elementary school and the JSHS — serving local students from kindergarten through 12th grade in the surrounding rural communities. Its mission is to deliver individualized education to each student, with a vision centered on critical thinking, empathetic action, and effective communication. Academic, athletic, and extracurricular programs include special education, gifted programs, Title I School-wide support at the elementary level, robotics, drama, National Honor Society, band, choir, and multiple PIAA-style interscholastic sports.

The district's core technology is administrative rather than product-oriented: it runs a WordPress-based informational website (cppanthers.org), uses the Alma Student Information System for student records, deploys Chromebooks under a formal home-use loan agreement, and supplements instruction with consumer tools such as First In Math and Study Island. It also operates Panther Broadcasting, a student media channel on YouTube. There are no commercial software products, APIs, or proprietary technology platforms.

As a government state entity, Commodore Perry School District does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded through Pennsylvania basic education funding, local property taxes, and federal grants, and participates in the Community Eligibility Provision providing free breakfast and lunch to all students. Leadership consists of Superintendent Ken Jewell, High School Principal Michael Wright, Elementary Principal Stephanie Clawges, Athletic Director Stacy Payne, Guidance Counselor Mandy Palko, and supporting administrative staff. The district is governed by a local school board and reports to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
