Our Mission

Our Mission Statement

The Perry-Hocking Educational Service Center provides quality service, leadership and assistance to the school districts and communities of Perry and Hocking Counties in order to maximize educational opportunities for students.

The Perry-Hocking Educational Service Center recognizes the following responsibilities:

First, the Educational Service Center furnishes professional leadership and consulting services to strengthen areas the school districts are unable to efficiently finance or staff independently.

Second, the Educational Service Center provides specialized programs on a collective basis. These offerings represent a substantial savings to local school districts that could not individually provide such services efficiently or economically. In addition, the Educational Service Center provides requested services to city and exempted village school districts on a contractual basis.

Third, the Educational Service Center assists school districts in meeting state and federal program standards. Compliance with these regulations helps ensure continued state and federal assistance.

Fourth, the Educational Service Center links the Ohio Department of Education with local and contracted city and exempted village school districts. It functions as a liaison and clearinghouse for information, certifies data, and distributes materials, documents and reports as required by the State and Federal Government.

Fifth, the Educational Service Center helps school districts exceed minimum standards and develop exemplary programs emphasizing excellence in education.

Vision

The Perry-Hocking Educational Service Center will be recognized for providing quality leadership and vital county and regional educational services to school districts.
