Pearl High School, the historically black high school, has for decades enjoyed national esteem among educators and citizens alike as the Mecca of secondary education in Nashville, Tennessee.
The nonprofit Pearl High School Heritage Classes Foundation, Inc. exists to preserve the legacy of an esteemed secondary institution whose output of superior students literally mocked the segregation public policy imposed on it in earlier years.
To continue the legacy of historic Pearl High School by awarding scholarships to graduating high school seniors whose relatives attended Pearl High School.
To guarantee that revisionist history can never marginalize the high school or undervalue its contributions, surviving graduates of the institution organized the Pearl High School Heritage Classes Foundation, Inc.
The scholarship fundraising event is held in odd years. The Legacy Luncheon, the fundraising event for 2019, will be held in August 2019.
The recipients are not required to be descendants of Pearl High School attendants. They are required to be an Engineering or Computer Science major matriculating in a four-year college. Maintenance of a 2.5 GPA entitles them to renewal of the scholarship for up to five years @ $1,000 each year.
