Perlicer "PC" was educated in the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools system. He spent 3 years at Kennedy Jr. High School where PC began playing basketball competitively.

As a sophomore at Atkins High School, PC was a star player on the Jr. Varsity basketball team that won the City/County Championship in 1971. During the summer of the same year, WSFCS decided to close the last "all Black" high school in the city.

Perlicer chose to attend West Forsyth Sr. High to continue his basketball career under the tutelage of Coach Robert Moore.

His senior year, PC transferred to East Forsyth Sr. High School to complete his stellar basketball play on the high school level. After graduation in June of 1973, PC accepted a basketball scholarship to attend Virginia Union University.

Tall in stature, big-hearted, considerate, loyal, supportive and caring are all characteristics our good friend Perlicer "PC" Johnson possessed.  Our hearts are saddened and we will miss you dear friend but one day, we will see you again.
