John J. Pershing High School is a four-year public high school in Detroit, Michigan.[1] It is in Conant Gardens[2] in proximity to the residential areas[3] and also serves Krainz Woods.[4] Pershing was governed by the Education Achievement Authority (EAA), which oversees failing schools, from 2011 until 2017, when all schools were transferred back to Detroit Public Schools Community District.[5][6]
