Hello, my name is Cissy Florence! I am so honored and excited to be the principal at PDS! I have attended church at First Presbyterian Church Clarksdale, MS my entire life. I have a huge passion for First Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Day School, and the Clarksdale Community!
I have spent the last two years teaching Kindergarten at Presbyterian Day School! I have loved every second of it. We have a wonderful curriculum here at PDS. At PDS, not only are children getting a great education, but they are learning each day about their Savior Jesus. We have chapel every Wednesday. Chapel is vital to us at Presbyterian Day School. During chapel we sing praises to our Lord, and we get to hear a message from our wonderful Pastor, Christopher Marks!
Our mission here at PDS is to help students grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially! We want each child that comes through our school to know that they are a beloved child of God and that He has wonderful plans for their life! I look forward to serving you and you children this school year!

Hello All! My name is Christopher Marks, and I am the thankful product of God’s generational faithfulness. Both of my Parents were Christians and they raised and educated me to fear the Lord, love Him for His Amazing Grace, and pursue His matchless Wisdom. I am a long way off from perfection, but by the grace of God and through the faithfulness of both my Parents and the Christian Communities of which we were a part, I am a lot further along today than I have any right to be!
I excited to join the Community at PDS as Headmaster as we strive together to raise children to love God, to claim Him as their God, and to grow up in every way as young men and women who will walk with Him in loving and serving their neighbors. No matter our personal or family resources, we are each the recipients of unearned favor from God. We have life and breath and so many good things as His free gifts. Our children are some of the greatest gifts we will ever receive, and at PDS we get to help each other to treasure them and build them up.
I look forward to building relationships with both you and your students in the year ahead! May the Lord bless and keep us all, and may He be pleased to bless PDS to be a blessing to you and your family.
