The Perry High School Marching Band has qualified for OMEA State Finals in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. The Symphonic Winds have earned superior ratings in Class AA and A over 37 times. In 1991, The Perry Symphonic Winds performed at the Midwest International Band and Orchestra clinic, and performed at the OMEA State Convention in 2015.

There are also a large array of Choirs at Perry, including Bel Canto, Lyrics, Kinsmen, Treblemakers, as well as Symphonic. These Choirs perform numerous concerts ranging from classical to popular music. Over the years, these choirs have competed at State Competitions multiple times.

The Perry Theatre was christened the "Little Broadway" of Stark County by the Canton Repository. The term was highlighted as part of a feature article reporting the yearly successes, sell-out crowds and continued demand for tickets that the Perry Theatre had established over the years. Theatre Students, along with their Directors as well as Perry Administrators humbly accepted the title. With that acceptance the Perry Theatre established a yearly mission and commitment to uphold the honor. The Perry Players perform at the Louie Mattachione Theatre at Perry High School, and have been under the direction of Louie Mattachione for over 50 years.

In 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2008, the Perry Forensics Team won the Ohio Speech and Debate State Title. They are currently recognized as one of the top schools in the nation.
