Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School (or simply Pearl-Cohn High) is a public magnet high school located in Nashville, Tennessee.

History

Pearl-Cohn was established in 1983 when Pearl High School and Cohn High School merged. The school was built in 1986 to replace the former Cohn High School and Pearl High School.

Distinctions

Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School is the only entertainment magnet high school in the country. The school includes grades 9–12 with students matriculating from Moses McKissack and John Early Middle Schools.

Pearl-Cohn is organized into three academies: the Freshman Academy, the Academy of Entertainment Management, and the Academy of Entertainment Communication. Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School provides a range of both collegiate preparatory courses and career-track courses. The integrated curriculum includes pathways in music business, style and image consultancy, music recording, and broadcasting. Students enter their area of interest in their sophomore year and work to prepare to meet the State and District requirement of three courses in a concentrated area.

On May 8, 2013 the school opened a state-of-the-art, $1.2 million recording studio, complete with commercial equipment including a 32-channel mixing console, effect processors, and two editing suites. In partnership with Warner Music Group, Pearl-Cohn is the first school in the nation to house a student-run recording label affiliated with a major record label. Students have the opportunity to work with artists in phases including song creation, production, and distribution. The Pearl-Cohn label operates similarly to a traditional corporate model, but with profits benefitting music education.^[1]

2009–10 Cluster Changes

Beginning with the 2009–10 school year, the Pearl-Cohn cluster included a larger geographic area that was previously zoned to Hillsboro and Hillwood High Schools. This plan become controversial as many economically disadvantaged and African American students were zoned away from more diverse high schools.

Sports

Pearl-Cohn students participate in wrestling, volleyball, tennis, golf, cheerleading, bowling, cross country, basketball, and football.^[2]
