Educating racial-ethnic students has been a mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) for decades. From Stillman College founded in 1876 to the Presbyterian Pan American School started as Texas-Mexican Institute in 1911, the denomination’s commitment has continued.

Over the course of several weeks the Presbyterian News Service, working in collaboration with the PC(USA)’s Racial Ethnic and Women’s Ministries and Presbyterian Women ministry area, will explore what’s happening at four racial-ethnic schools and colleges, providing a picture of the past, present and future of the institutions. The Presbyterian Pan American School, located in Kingsville, Texas, is the first this series.
