The founder of Wakulla Christian School, Mr. Jim Pound, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, December 11. He fervently believed that God led him in establishing WCS with the purpose of building a school system which would give hundreds of young people the opportunity for a superb Christian education, and instill in them the desire to honor God with their lives and in their families.
In 1966, feeling the leadership of God, and working with Reverend Rayburn Blair of Temple Baptist Church, Jim Pound organized and became the Principal at North Florida Christian School in Tallahassee. The school began with a total of 40 students. The following year the school enrolled approximately 140 students in 1967; 240 students in 1968; 660 students in 1969; 1100 in 1970 and 1700 by the mid 1970’s serving students in 3K through grade 12. As superintendent of school, Mr. Pound employed 80 teachers, 6 other administrators and approximately 50 staff. The school had athletic teams in eight interscholastic sports areas competing in the Florida High School Activities Association, as well as an outstanding marching band and choral program. He transported students from Jefferson Co., Gadsden Co., and Wakulla Co. as well as throughout Leon Co. in 20 sixty-six passenger buses.
During the 1970’s, Mr. Pound organized and administered Gadsden Christian School (now Tallavana Christian School) and Aucilla Christian School for several years before turning them over to local boards in the respective communities. Mr. Pound retired in 1988 after 22 years as North Florida Christian administrator. He said the greatest accomplishment of these years was graduating hundreds of outstanding young adults who are recognized as people of character, ability, and leadership, and who now serve God and their communities with distinction. He fervently believes that God is leading him in establishing Wakulla Christian School with the purpose of building a school system which will give hundreds of young people the opportunity for a superb Christian education, and instill in them the desire to honor God with their lives and in their families.
