Built in 1928, this school for African American students in Pass Christian was funded by public and private money, including the Rosenwald Foundation. First known as the Harrison County Training School, the name was changed to honor a former principal in 1939. In 1969, it became the Pass Christian Middle School and has served as the Boys and Girls Club and Senior Citizen Center since 2000. Designated a Mississippi Landmark in 2006, the school was restored in 2009 after damage from Hurricane Katrina.
