PEARL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
1898-1946, 1949-1983
Source 1:
Lists of 1898-1946 graduates were copied from Nashville Tennessean newspaper articles, located in the Nashville Public Library, by Rodney Donaldson, a graduate of Pearl-Cohn High School and Tennessee State University. Rodney Donaldson gave the 1898-1946 graduates list to Henry Irvin, PHS Class of 1962, current chairman of the Pearl High School Heritage Classes Foundation, Inc., and creator of the PHS Archives website, pearlhighalumnitn.com. Henry posted this first list on the PHS Archives website, but there was no search capability.
Source 2:
Commencement Programs from 1949-1983 were supplied by Melvin Black, former Metro Councilman, retired PHS teacher and coach and current chairman of the Pearl High School Association, Inc. (aka the Archives group).
Combining The Two Sources
Both sources were manually keyed into a combined list by Brenda Howard Irvin, PHS Class of 1963. Then, the list was uploaded to the Archives website, where it resides and is available for download on demand. The Graduates List contains 12,406 lines or 282 pages of data. There is no data available for 1947-1948, however, there is a one-line, red highlighted placeholder for each of those years indicating “No Data Available”.
