Racial Ethnic Schools and Colleges
 Students like this young teen are the essence of the Presbyterian Pan American School, where 96 percent of seniors go on to colleges or universities. Photo by Toya Richards Hill The Racial Ethnic Schools and Colleges relate to the General Assembly Council through the Racial Ethnic and Women’s Ministries/Presbyterian Women ministry area. Each college welcomes students of any
racial, ethnic or cultural background. The Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.) helps to support the racial ethnic schools
and colleges through the Christmas
Joy Offering. This offering is shared 50 percent with the Board
of Pensions.
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 in 2008 the Presbyterian News Service, working in collaboration with the PC(USA)’s Racial Ethnic and Women’s Ministries and Presbyterian Women ministry area, explored three racial-ethnic schools and colleges, providing a picture of the past, present and future of the institutions. Read the stories, watch the videos and see the photos from this exploration.
