Stories from Pace Marion

Keyonie's Story

“My parents decided to take me out of my public school and send me to Pace Marion. At first, I was too shy to let myself begin a new adventure at Pace or to get to know girls who were going through similar experiences as me. But then I quickly made new friends and now have the drive to graduate early, accomplish milestones, and be a leader for myself and other young girls. I am proud I have become someone who is a good example of how Pace helps girls like me.”
