and 9 years as a physical education teacher. He administered the 
transition to a year round school schedule and the reinstatement of the 
regular school year schedule. Doug is also an innovative leader; he

resource for students and teachers. Mr. Perry has supported various 
programs for his students, such as the district's promotion/retention/
