Welcome to Pace Pinellas

My name is Isabella and I am 17 years old. Finding a school to meet my specific needs almost seemed impossible… until we found Pace! Before Pace, the idea of graduating was not even on the table. I was kept out of school from fifth grade through ninth grade. At the time, I was hopeless and could not see a way out of my situation and my mental health started to decline. I was lucky to be able to move in with my biological father and I now have a healthy, happy, and loving family. My family called and we were greeted with such warmth and sweetness. All I remember from the call was “Bring her! We would love to meet her!” My family often calls Pace the hidden gem in St. Pete. I immediately felt so loved and was ecstatic! There was a chance for me again, and I could finally see the light. I have grown leaps and bounds since enrolling at Pace. I have been a part of opportunities I never imagined was possible five years ago. I also am going to graduate! I could not have done it without Pace and my family standing by my side.
