Welcome LEAF!

Perry is working with the Lake/Geauga Educational Assistance Foundation (LEAF) this year. LEAF is a private non-profit educational information/assistance organization. It is specifically designed to serve the planning preparation and financial needs of prospective college students who have demonstrated the aptitude and desire to succeed. LEAF works with every public high school in Lake and Geauga counties.

This assistance will be available as students plan programs of education beyond the high school experience in a range of settings from entrance into technical skill acquisition training programs to enrollment in college and university settings.

We are very excited to be working with LEAF. Our contact is Barb Meinen. Mrs. Meinen will be at PHS every Tuesday and is available for student and parent appointments. Students can sign up in the Guidance Office for an appointment during a free block or their lunch. She is located in the Main Office, in the office labeled, “College Consulting.” It is Mrs. Meinen’s goal to meet with every senior. Please encourage your students to visit with her, as she has a wealth of knowledge regarding financial aid and continuing education.

Please let your counselor know if you have any questions regarding LEAF, and help us welcome Mrs. Meinen!
