Pass Christian Public School District
The Pirate Excellence Foundation partners with the Pass Christian Public School District to remove barriers to student success through holistic scholarships and mental health support. Since its founding, the Foundation has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships and provided ACT preparation for 49 high school students, opening doors to college and career opportunities for dozens of graduates. In response to student wellness needs, the Foundation also provides critical financial support for the district’s Hope Squad, empowering 56 student leaders to build a culture of peer-to-peer suicide prevention that reaches all 959 middle and high school students. Together, these efforts unite schools, families, and local businesses in a shared mission: ensuring every Pirate has the opportunity, support, and hope to thrive.
