Elvis Presley‘s high school years were spent in Memphis, Tennessee, where he attended L.C. Humes High School. His time there was notably marked by his interest in music. Elvis was an average student academically, but his passion for music was evident even then. He was involved in various musical activities at school, including singing in the school’s talent shows and performing in the annual Humes High Minstrel Show. It’s said that he received mixed reactions from his peers; some were impressed by his talent while others were not as enthusiastic. However, his passion for music continued to grow during these formative years, setting the stage for his iconic career as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

I knew a man from Memphis named Dick Gentry who told me that he went to high school with Elvis Presley. I don’t see his name in Elvis’ graduation class so I guess Dick Gentry must have been an underclassman or graduated sooner than Elvis. Do you have any confirmation about Dick Gentry or was he BS’ing me…?
I was looking for some things on Elvis, and ran across your post. I thought I saw some contradicting dates on when Elvis actually graduated in 53 and some site I saw it was a 57 year book. Your friend may be right. Not everything on internet is always accurate.
i love you elvis presley and family, my name is cleiton santini
