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.[4]
On August 29, 2024, it was announced that PCS would be moving from the Midsouth Association of Independent Schools to the Mississippi High School Activities Association starting in the 2025-26 school year. [5]
