Alliance City School District

✈ Perry Mann ✈
Position: 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher
School: Alliance Middle School
Graduation Year: 1997
Years at ACS: 9

Favorite Memory:
"There are so many great memories that come to mind when I think back to my time in Alliance, but they all revolve around acceptance. I think what was so amazing about Alliance and why I'm so excited to have the opportunity to teach here is that I always felt accepted and supported by everyone, even when I wasn't at my best."

Influential Staff Member:
"My influential staff members were:
Mr. Zelasko: His excitement in teaching history was infectious, and you may not have entered the class ready to learn, but he quickly caught your attention and drew you into the lesson.

Mr. Ballor: His breadth of knowledge, passion for learning, and willingness to meet you where you were to help move you forward still inspires me every day.

Ms. Ailes: When I talk about Ms. Ailes, it always comes back to joy. Whenever you were around her, she made you smile. No matter how disappointing your last Spanish grade was, she made you feel like success was still possible, and she believed in you."

Choosing to work for ACS:
"I chose to work for Alliance because I've always felt a strong connection with the community and wanted to have the opportunity to give back a small amount of what was provided to me."

Importance of giving back:
"As a historian, I passionately believe that we can only move forward by studying and honoring our past. My past is deeply rooted in this community and I feel that Alliance has a depth that is often overlooked. No matter the period or the situation the people of Alliance have never been afraid to dig deep and do what's right. Not for themselves but for those around them. We are a community that lifts up everyone present and I am proud to have the opportunity to return that favor and help support the same community that supported me for so many years."

Mr. Mann’s passion for history and his love for this community shine through in everything he does, and we are lucky to have him back helping the next generation of Aviators grow. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Joe Mastroianni (K) and Lily Mastroianni (2nd) spent the holidays with their cousins in Northern Virginia. They visited the President’s Wing at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, where they saw Abraham Lincoln’s portrait. They also visited the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial.

What a great way to spend winter break while learning about our nation’s history! 🇺🇸
