If you have lived in Perry Hall for some time, there's a good chance your face could re-emerge 50 years in the future.

As part of a series of events commemorating the 50th anniversary since the opening of Perry Hall High School, several members of the community are preserving pieces from the school's first 50 years in a small coffin time capsule.
Do you have something to donate to the Perry Hall time capsule? Contact Todd Sautters at tsautters@bcps.org or (330) 705-9975.

The capsule, painted yellow with the green Gator mascot on the lid, will be buried at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3 outside the school and is scheduled to be reopened for the school's 100-year anniversary.
