Perry Meridian opened its doors in the fall of 1973 under principal James Head. Students and teachers came from Southport High School, which had been the only high school in Perry Township. Perry Meridian only enrolled grades 9-11 during its first year. Southport students picked the school colors and mascot for Perry during the 1972-73 school year.
The current principal of Perry Meridian High School is Kert Boedicker.
In March 2008, an English teacher (a 27-year veteran) at the high school, Connie Heerman, was suspended without pay for using the book The Freedom Writers Diary in her classroom when "the school board contend[ed] she didn't follow the rules for getting permission to use it." In April 2008, the board voted to let this suspension run until the end of the semester in 2009.
