Pass Christian School District Plans New Performing Arts Center

Biloxi Gulfport, MS, October 10, 2026 — The Pass Christian School District has announced plans to construct a new performing arts center, a project with an estimated cost of $9.5 million. The initiative aims to establish a dedicated facility for the district’s arts programs, addressing a long-standing need for specialized spaces.

Currently, students in arts programs at Pass Christian School District utilize shared facilities for rehearsals and performances. These include cafeterias and gymnasiums, as the district has been without a dedicated auditorium since Hurricane Katrina. The new performing arts center is intended to provide an appropriate and functional environment for a variety of artistic endeavors, from theatrical productions to musical performances and other student showcases.

The estimated cost for the new facility is $9.5 million. To help finance this significant undertaking, the Pass Christian School District has initiated a fundraising campaign. The district is seeking contributions to support the construction and development of the performing arts center.

The lack of an auditorium has impacted the district’s ability to fully support its arts education curriculum and extracurricular activities. The construction of this new center is viewed as a crucial step in enhancing the educational experience for students involved in the arts.
