First Assembly Christian school (FACS) is a private, college preparatory Christian school located in the Cordova section of Memphis, Tennessee. FACS was founded as First Assembly of God Christian School in 1972 to preserve white-only school in response to a federal court order requiring integrated schools. The school was initially located on Highland Street in Memphis before moving to Walnut Grove in Cordova.[1] [2]
According to the historian Marcus Pohlmann, FACS was established in 1972 as part of a wave of private schools formed by white parents seeking to avoid sending their children to racially integrated public schools.[3]
For the 2021-2022 school year, the school had 512 students in grade PK-12, of whom 6 were American Indian/Alaska Natives, 9 were Asian, 105 were Black, 38 were Hispanic, 297 were White, and 26 were of two or more races.[4]
