Superintendent Trent McCormick

Welcome to Peru Community Schools… Home of the Tigers!

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as the Superintendent of such a vibrant and dedicated learning community. At Peru, we are committed to creating an inclusive, safe, and supportive environment where every student is empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Historically, Peru is a longtime railroad, circus, and river town as our community is situated at the convergence of three rivers – The Wabash, The Mississinewa, and The Eel Rivers. Peru Community Schools is always proud to brag about our world class art gallery located in our high school as well as our strong ties to the Peru Amateur Circus which has a 65-year tradition of Miami County students performing in the famous three-ring circus building in downtown Peru.

Our incredible team of educators, staff, families, and community partners work together to ensure that all students are prepared for success in college, careers, and life. We take great pride in our innovative programs, strong academic foundations, membership in the Heartland Career Center, and the many opportunities we offer to explore the arts, athletics, technology, and leadership.

Thank you for checking us out, and we look forward to seeing you on campus for one of our many school events.

We are stronger when we work together!

Sincerely,
Trent McCormick
Superintendent

Peru & Mac to Share Tech Director

Peru, IN- Peru Community Schools has entered into an agreement with Maconaquah Schools to share their district Technology Director, Chris Percival. The move comes amidst increasing financial pressure on schools across the state on the heels of Indiana’s SEA 1 which drastically reduced funding for public schools. This new agreement allows both districts to reduce expenses and retain highly qualified staff. “By partnering with Peru Community Schools, we are maximizing Chris Percival’s talents and creating efficiencies that ultimately benefit students in both districts,” said Craig Jernagan, Maconaquah Superintendent. Mr. Percival’s years of experience successfully leading a tech team made him a clear choice to replace outgoing Peru Tech Director, Ben Burris, who has taken a job closer to his home. Peru Superintendent Trent McCormick said “We are pleased to have Mr. Percival join team PCS. Our district’s technology has been completely upgraded over the last year, from servers to laptops, and we are ready to take the next step. We are particularly excited with Mr. Percival’s experience building student tech teams. Peru is looking forward to engaging students interested in computers and technology through work-based learning.” Both Peru and Maconaquah School boards have approved the arrangement. Mr. Percival is slated to being at PCS on March 1st.
