The Pearl High School Alumni Museum

                 
 

The Museum of Education applauds the efforts of the Reunion Classes of 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943 who, when first organizing in 1985, “expressed concern about our pictures and artifacts which had been placed in storage at the Martin Luther King Jr. Magnet School. The alumni president pledged that an attempt be made to find a place to house and restore them for posterity and future viewing.”

 
                 
   


Through the efforts of former MLK Magnet School principal, Dr. Samella Spence, space was allocated on-site in a renovated area of the Pearl High School Vocational Building for the Pearl High Alumni Museum. Preserving the memory of this distinguished high school, the materials were compiled and the facility is overseen by alumni-archivists Ann Guess and Ted Lenox. The Museum of Education congratulates these individuals for their fine work, and we look forward to their acquisitions of the many important documents and classroom materials of Pearl High School.
