About

The Picayune Carver Culture Center (Museum) is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization created in February, 2004 by a group of concerned citizens to remember the past achievements of the Picayune Carver High School and promote pride and culture among in the Pearl River County area. The school served the African American community of Picayune during segregation years and beyond remaining open as a community center until the late 1970’s when it was closed permanently. The building was converted to Southside Elementary serving the entire populus of Picayune, however, the African American communities lost a valuable resource which has not been replaced to this day.

With the help from the community PCCC is Bridging Gap.
