Our year-round academics and mental health supports work hand-in-hand to achieve a holistic and comprehensive path to success. The Pace Reach Program provides therapy where you are, offering social, emotional, and behavioral health and case management services for girls ages 11-17 and their families at no cost.

Our hallways are full of creativity, curiosity, and hard work! Take a peek at the classroom projects on display at Pace Lee, showcasing what our girls are learning and the unique perspectives they bring to each assignment.

We’re proud of our girls and grateful for the teachers who help them explore new ideas and share their talents. There’s so much to celebrate beyond the classroom doors!

Entrepreneurship was a recent topic of discussion in our Spirited Girls class. Students were given a prompt to create their own business and advertisement with their passions in mind. The goal of the exercise was to show the girls that future businesses like these are possible for them with enough determination and hard work!

Big dreams start with big opportunities!

We recently welcomed students from the Florida Gulf Coast University Social Entrepreneurship class to Pace Lee for a special visit filled with learning, inspiration, and meaningful conversations.

One of the highlights was hearing from our very own Pace student, Nataly, who bravely shared her personal story with the FGCU students. Nataly has dreams of becoming an entrepreneur after graduation, so she took full advantage of the opportunity to ask questions, gain insight, and learn from the college students about their experiences and ideas.

We love seeing our girls take initiative, explore their passions, and recognize the possibilities ahead of them!

Thank you to FGCU and the Social Entrepreneurship class for spending time with our girls and helping inspire the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.

A little creativity, a lot of personality, and some pretty silly faces!

Our girls were rewarded for a full week of perfect attendance with a special art activity led by Alliance for the Arts! Students had the opportunity to create self portraits, express their creativity, and have a little fun along the way.

As you can see from the photos, some of our girls had just as much fun making silly faces as they did creating their masterpieces!

Thank you to Alliance for the Arts for helping us celebrate our girls' commitment to showing up, staying engaged, and making every day count.
