Greetings Gator Community,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year where we’re SCORING new levels of academic achievement! It’s Henry D. Perry Education Center’s COMEBACK SEASON!
HDPEC is a place where CREDITS are EARNED, and FUTURES are TURNED. I hope all of you are eager to have a successful comeback season—graduation/promotion is part of the game plan, regardless of the win/loss record in your previous seasons.
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 11th, and I’m excited to meet
our families at our upcoming Open House on Tuesday, September 30th. Together, we will
have our greatest season yet!
Sincerely,
Kristin Baltazar, Principal
