Mission Statement
The Pearl River Community
College Museum is a repository for historical artifacts that reflect the
history and legacy of Mississippi’s oldest public two-year institution
of higher education and the six-county area that provides financial support
for its operation: Forrest, Hancock, Jefferson Davis, Lamar, Marion and
Pearl River counties. The mission of the Museum is dedicated to the
discovery, preservation and interpretation of materials and memorabilia
related to the institution’s history and the lower Pearl River valley,
which it serves. The Museum seeks to provide the institution’s students,
employees, alumni and the general public with factual information regarding
the unique history of Pearl River Community College and the history of
the supporting district.
