Welcome to Pace Escambia-Santa Rosa
About Escambia-Santa Rosa
Pace Center for Girls Escambia Santa Rosa began at a small facility behind University Mall in 1994. One year later, we moved to a 4000 square foot facility on the Pensacola State College campus, and have enjoyed a partnership with PSC for the past twenty years. In 2013 we relocated to our current 13,500 square foot facility at 1028 Underwood Avenue. Since opening our doors in 1994, we have served more than 2,000 girls through three distinct components: Academic, Social Services and Transition Services.
