Pearl River Community College has four locations in the six-county supporting district (Forrest, Hancock, Jefferson Davis, Lamar, Marion, and Pearl River counties).  PRCC also offers night and weekend classes in numerous locations throughout the district.

The main campus at Poplarville is located on U.S. Highway 11.  The Forrest County Center is located in Hattiesburg on U.S. Highway 49 South.  The Hancock Center is located on U.S. Highway 90 in Waveland.  The Woodall Advanced Technology Center is located in the Forrest County Industrial Park off of Highway 49.

PRCC was originally founded as the Pearl River County Agricultural High School in 1909 and became the first community college in Mississippi in 1921.  Some of the buildings date back to the early 20's, but have been well maintained over the years and serve as landmarks on the modern campus.  This Virtual Tour will acquaint you with the buildings on both campuses.  Interactive buttons will take you through the campus step by step.  You will find information about each individual building...its history, function and location.
