| The Corinth, Mississippi area is rich in history and
alive with lots of activities to enjoy. From our
early days as a regional transportation hub for the South,
Corinth has been a great place to live. Today, Corinth
city schools consistently rank among the best in the state,
achieving a Level 5 accreditation – the highest
possible in the State of Mississippi. In 2004, core
students at Corinth High School averaged a 23.9 on the
ACT while the state’s average was 18.8. Five
city schools with grades K-12 feature dedicated and professional
teaching faculties and administrators who truly care for
the students they lead. All of this with one of
the smallest student-teacher ratios in the state makes
Corinth’s school systems a great option for young
families.
Corinth and Alcorn County feature a number of prominent
industries that employ thousands of professionals and
skilled laborers. Coca-Cola, Caterpillar, Magnolia
Regional Health Center, Mississippi Polymers, Kimberly-Clark,
Quebecor World and Timber Products are among our largest
employers and greatest corporate citizens. Locally-owned
business feature everything from mountain bikes and
outdoors gear to boutique-quality men’s and women’s
clothing. Gift shops and specialty shops abound,
and it’s hard to NOT find what you’re looking
for among Corinth’s many varied merchants.
The area’s recreation facilities offer lots of
activities for children – from softball and soccer
at the SportsPlex to playgrounds, walking trails and
softball at the Northeast Mississippi Regional Park.
Adults will enjoy golf, tennis and fully equipped
workout facilities at Shiloh Ridge Athletic Club, the
area’s most complete recreation and fitness complex.
And of course, Shiloh Ridge is located only fifteen
minutes from the pristine waters of Pickwick Lake and
its many recreational opportunities. Boating,
swimming, camping and picnicking are among the most
popular activities at this Tennessee State Park and
TVA formed lake.
There’s a lot of living to do in Corinth and
its surrounding areas. We’re small enough
to be neighborly yet growing at a pace that exceeds
most communities in the state. Our economy is
bustling with industry, retail and service-related businesses.
And our religious community is strong with scores
of churches of every denomination with thousands of
faithful members. We’re also a giving community
that supports the Boys & Girls Club, the Lighthouse
Foundation and numerous other charities dedicated to
improving the quality of life for our citizens.
