Markiyah H.- 8th Grade

I'm lucky to have a counselor, nice teachers, good friendships, a chance do better, and to be in a safe environment. I'm thankful to have all the friendships that I have here at Pace.

Natti B.- 12th Grade

Since coming to Pace, I have gained more confidence in my ability to submit quality work and I love how all the staff are so kind and helpful. I am quite thankful to Pace for having such a positive and nice energy. It makes me feel safe and less stressed. They encourage me to try my best and I don't feel uncomfortable reaching out if I need help which has always been a problem for me in the past.

Rita H.- 10th Grade

Because of Pace, I'm now able to go to school, fix my past grades, and get ahead. It has also paved the way for new opportunities for me that wouldn't have been available beforehand, so, I am very thankful to the staff at Pace:). They work very hard to ensure everything is going smoothly and genuinely care about us (girls) and what we're doing.

Morgan R.- 11th Grade

I have had many positive experiences at Pace. I was able to receive a lot of emotional support, which majorly helped me get over my fear of school itself and helped me do my work more efficiently. I am able to feel safe and I am able to be myself at Pace. I am thankful that Pace exists in general, because I don't know where I would be right now without the teachers and counselors here. Being here has helped me with some of my school anxiety, as it is a small center with not many people. I am able to ask questions without being judged, and I couldn't do that at my previous schools. Pace has helped me get through a lot of tough spots in my life, and even though I might not express it verbally, I genuinely do mean it.
