Presbyterian Christian School (PCS), is a private Christian school in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It was originally founded as Bay Street Christian Day School in 1976. [1] It serves preschool through grade 12. Grades K5-6 attend one campus, while 7-12 attend an adjacent campus. [2]
The historian Joseph Crespino has noted that, unlike many other private schools in Mississippi, PCS was established after school desegregation began and enrolled minority students within a few years of its founding. [3] Crespino's theory has been questioned, in light of the school's enrollment patterns compared to the general (at the time) enrollment patterns of white Southern families in private schools following desegregation.
