Paris Campus
Welcome to PJC!
Paris Junior College's campus in Paris, Texas, sits on 54 tree-shaded acres in the southwest section of the city.
The campus' 19 buildings are anchored by the college's original Administration Building, a distinctive late Art Deco structure completed in 1941, which fronts the busy thoroughfare of Clarksville Street and in many ways serves as the college's public face.
The campus was moved to its present site of 54 acres in 1940, and in 1949 the first board of regents was elected and began meeting. J.R. McLemore served as president until 1961. Charles Clark took over the duties until Frank Grimes became president in 1963. Louis B. Williams succeeded Grimes in 1967 and served until 1983 when he was named president emeritus. Dennis Michaelis followed Williams and served as president until 1988. Bobby R. Walters became president in 1988 and served until 2003 when he was named president emeritus. Dr. Pamela Anglin succeeded Walters in 2003 and served until 2023. Dr. Jerry King, retired president of Trinity Valley Community College, served as Interim President until Dr. Stephen Michael Benson took the helm as the ninth College president in 2024.
