Presbyterian Pan American School was created in 1956 when the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) merged two older educational facilities: the Texas-Mexican Industrial Institute, chartered in 1911, and the Presbyterian School for Mexican Girls, begun in 1924 in Taft Texas. The school is located five miles south of Kingsville, Texas on a broad expanse of former King Ranch rangeland and is an extraordinary place for young people to learn and grow in faith. The School attracts students from many countries to live and learn in a multicultural, multilingual community.
