Perry has continued the trend of increasing class sizes every year: the incoming freshman class continues to be bigger than the last. With such an increase of population since it has opened, it seems Perry will soon no longer be able to keep up with the growth.

So far Perry has added the new F building to accommodate more classrooms and expand upon the culinary program. However the number of classrooms is no longer the problem. Two lane roads, lack of traffic lights, and parking are among the many issues that cause traffic in the mornings. This traffic not only affects students, but also drivers around the area, making their commute to work more inconvenient.

Administration is now trying to resolve some of these issues. One solution to the traffic situation will be the addition of traffic lights on 156th street and Queen Creek road, which is the entrance to the student drop off area. This will be added some time after March, in hopes of relieving traffic and making it easier for parents to access the student drop off area.

It is also possible that administration could buy land, or find room for extra student parking. This would be helpful to many students, and it would also make it easier for administration to continue graduation ceremonies at Perry. Serrano said, “we are trying [to keep ceremonies here] but the main concern is parking.”

Also, to accommodate families at graduation ceremonies, the bleachers at the visitors side of the football field could be expanded. “I believe the visitors side is too small, those are things down the road with the bond I may ask for” said Serrano.   

The ideal plan would be to buy land for parking, “lands are getting expensive, so if we were to buy land, now would be the time” said Serrano.

The other option is make room on campus land to expand parking. “The other day we were looking at if we could safely park students at the freshman baseball field” Serrano continued, “We would have to do some things but we are looking at some options,” said Serrano.

As for the land on the corner of Queen Creek and Val Vista, a retirement home for the elderly was supposed to be under construction, but it seems that those plans have moved further down the street. It is now unclear what proposals lie in the future for that land.
