The Business Services division is an integral element toward successful delivery of education to the students of the Perris Union High School District. Our primary purpose is to administer the financial resources entrusted to the school district in the most efficient manner possible while maximizing the funds available for instructional programs. The Business Services division is essential in facilitating the educational process by providing clean, safe and well maintained facilities, technology support, financial services, student transportation and food services. Our code of conduct is driven by a culture of customer service to offer quality support services to the students, staff, and community. We instill within our division exemplary leadership, management, innovation, initiative, pride and personal work ethics.
