Barry Davis Jim, Sr., was born Philadelphia Indian Hospital and grew up on the Pearl River Indian Reservation. He attended Pearl River Elementary Day School, which became Choctaw Central High School. He graduated from Choctaw Central in 1969. Jim, a promising athlete, was the first Choctaw to be awarded a football scholarship at East Central Junior College (now East Central Community College) but was prevented from playing because of a knee injury. He attended Meridian Junior College and Mississippi State University, where he made the dean's list. He graduated from MSU with a degree in physical education and recreation and a minor in driver's education. He has continued his studies and, at the time of this interview, was working toward a master's degree in educational administration.
