PCS has been providing a distinctively Christian Education for the youth of South Mississippi for over 31 years!!

Presbyterian Christian School began in the minds and hearts of several men at Bay Street Presbyterian Church in 1975.  The primary objective was to build an elementary school of grades one through six in Hattiesburg that would be able to educate children from a distinctively Biblical perspective.  After a year in the planning stages, the Bay Street Presbyterian Christian Day School opened its doors in September of 1976 at Bay Street Presbyterian Church with 23 students in kindergarten through grade two.  By Christmas of 1978, the enrollment had grown to approximately 55 students in kindergarten through grade four, and space became a problem.  At the invitation of the Woodland Presbyterian Church Session, the Board of Directors chose to move the school to the newly completed building which was built to house Woodland Presbyterian Church on Lincoln Road.  At this time, the name of the school was changed to Presbyterian Christian School and the effort became the joint venture of both churches.

In the years since these beginnings, many changes have taken place at PCS.  The school now serves a student population of nearly 900 in grades K-5 through 12 and employs a faculty and staff of over 75.  Physical plant facilities now include the original Woodland Presbyterian Church building, which is used almost exclusively by PCS, and two additional classroom buildings, one of which was built in 1983, and the other in 1988.  In January of 2000, Phase I of the High School facility was completed.  Phase 2, which included a gym and cafetorium, was completed in May 2002.

Although growth has taken place and physical changes have occurred, PCS remains committed to the original goals of teaching sound academics in a Christian context and from a perspective that openly acknowledges God’s place as Creator and Sustainer of all reality.  We continue to exist to assist parents in providing a sound educational experience for their children in an environment that seeks to build Christian character.
