Greetings Gator Community,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year where we’re setting the academic stage for student achievement – it’s Henry D. Perry Education Center’s opportunity to shine: “Lights, Camera, Action – Roll the Credits for Success!   
 
With each new day, our students have an opportunity to move closer to their goals of grade-level promotion and graduation.  HDPEC provides a chance for each scholar to find success in an atmosphere that is supportive and understanding of each learner’s strengths and areas of growth. 
 
The goal of our faculty and staff is to assist and support students in and out of the classroom.  We work to individualize our instruction, thus meeting the needs of each learner.  We remain focused on providing acceleration options for students through industry certifications and dual enrollment courses.  Success in these programs will provide immediate employment options, or students can choose to continue their education in a post-secondary institution.  My team and I will work tirelessly to ensure we are motivating students to reach their greatest potential. I want Henry D. Perry Education Center to be THE school you choose, not a school chosen for you.  

 I look forward to welcoming back all our students on August 12^th.  I also ask for your patience during the first two weeks of school as BCPS makes the transition to FOCUS – operations may be slower than normal as we all learn to navigate this platform. 

 Sincerely, 

Kristin Baltazar 

Kristin Baltazar, Principal
