When I was in high school, our choir director had us perform almost
everything a capella. And so each day's session started out with a warm-up
from an A. He'd get us quiet, ask for that first note, and only then go to
the piano and play it. After a while, you can bet we were hitting it quite
accurately.
Did this mean we ended up with perfect pitch? No, I believe that A was
merely a touchstone from which everything else was relative. I'm sure it
had something to do with our ending up as the state's top choir, though.

If you put a student in a room for a week and played C
major over and over, the student wouldn't forget it,
and would have, if you, like perfect pitch.
