Principal's Message
Mr. Stephen Shell
Education is our first priority, and together, we can make a difference in the lives of our students.
Pace High School, located in Santa Rosa County, was established in 1972 with just 240 students. Today, we have almost 2,000 students enrolled. The Pace community, which is about 20 minutes from Pensacola, 15 minutes from the University of West Florida, and just over 30 minutes from Pensacola Beach, is one of the fastest growing communities in Northwest Florida.
Academics and student achievement are the main focus at Pace High School. Sports, band, drama, clubs, and honor societies are some of the extracurricular activities students can use to round out their high school experience. An active NJROTC program also offers many opportunities for young men and women interested in military careers.
Pace High School is actively involved in school-based decision making and has utilized teacher committees to determine and implement decisions that affect the overall school program.
