Newsweek has also ranked Pearce at #528 in the top 1,000 high schools in the nation. Schools were ranked based on the number of students who signed up for Advanced Placement courses and AP tests. Pearce was named a 1988-89 National Blue Ribbon School. Pearce High School also has an excellent Academic Decathlon team. The school holds the record for the most national wins in United States Academic Decathlon history claiming five first place titles, and has also succeeded in being in the top ten schools in the state competition since its founding.[1]
The J.J. Pearce band is recognized internationally for excellence and has performed at such prestigious institutions as The Meyerson in Dallas and Carnegie Hall in New York. The band has been named the Texas Honor Band twice, once in 1984 in the 5A category and again in 2001 in the 4A category. J.J. Pearce is also one of only four schools nation wide to receive the coveted Sudler Flag of Honor twice from the Sousa Foundation. In November,1986, the Mighty Mustang band competed at the State Marching Band competition in Austin, TX, and took 3rd place. J.J. Pearce also has a very successful choral program. The A Cappella Choir was selected as the 2008 TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) State Honor Choir, and performed at the TMEA convention in February in San Antonio, Texas. More recently, the entire choral department was invited to perform at the Vatican in Italy. The group will perform there in June of 2009.
