Location: ​From Evant, take FM 183 southeast about 12 miles, in Pearl community.

Marker Text: ​Evolved from a log cabin with puncheon floor and with split log benches to a modern plant with a gymnasium. Furnished its fair share of educated citizens.
       In early days, a one or two-teacher school. First trustees were J. H. Harrison, V. C. Karnes, and Frank Roberts. In 1907, with a new building, faculty increased to three; in 1917, to four; seven-teacher high school in 1934. 
        Since school's consolidation with Evant district (1958), this building memorable for youthful associations has become Pearl Community Center and is often visited by ex-students. (1970)
