Perry-Lecompton High School was the last bond issue passed in 1968 to build a new school. It was completed in 1970. The Perry-Lecompton High School kitchen was built in 1970. At that time it served only high school students. Approximately 20 years ago, food service was centralized at the high school to improve efficiency. The USD 343 food service department now prepares breakfast and lunch for the entire district in an outdated and undersized kitchen. The buildings currently in use at Williamstown Elementary School and Perry Middle School were built many years ago. The original Perry Middle School building (classrooms south of the gym) was built in 1971 and the gymnasium (PHS Field House) was built in 1948. The initial Williamstown Elementary School was completed in 1954. Research has shown that school facilites of this age are at a point where they are at the end of their lifespan.
