\u201cI really appreciate Ms. Kathy. She played a big role in me graduating. She was the one that contacted my old school to set me up right. She\u2019s been there every step of the way. I can\u2019t thank her enough. She\u2019s number one. She\u2019s my rock.\u201d \u2014 Tyra from Pace Polk<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Pace, our team of dedicated teachers, counselors, therapists, and directors foster safe, supportive, and inclusive environments for our girls to help them reach their goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Teacher Appreciation Week, join us in celebrating the hundreds of teachers who inspire confidence, ignite imagination and instill a love of learning in our girls.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the main supporters I\u2019ve had at Pace is Mr. Walter,\u201d shared Quinn from Pace Escambia-Santa Rosa. \u201cMr. Walter was the first person I told when I passed the GED test. He\u2019s like a dad to me, since I didn\u2019t have one growing up. He\u2019s pushed me to be my best, and he really showed me how proud he is of me \u2014 that I am finding myself and finding what I love doing.\u201d  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idali and Karimah both shared gratitude for Mr. Christie, a history teacher and academic advisor at Pace Palm Beach.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Christie has so much faith in me. He always makes sure that everyone feels safe in the classroom \u2014\u202fthat\u2019s his priority,\u201d said Idali. \u201cI came to Pace because I was doing really bad at academics. My grades were really low because I was skipping classes and didn\u2019t care about my classes. As soon as I came to Pace, they\u2019ve helped me a lot. I\u2019m on track to graduate next year.\u201d  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Christie is the best. He\u2019s a history teacher, and he\u2019s always giving us the most valuable information,\u201d added Karimah. \u201cHe\u2019s like an encyclopedia \u2014\u202fhe knows so much. I\u2019ve learned so much about the world and the state it\u2019s in right now, and I\u2019m so grateful to him.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, our team of counselors, therapists and educators advocate for our girls\u2019 physical and mental health and help them thrive and grow, creating brighter futures for all. Since 1985, more than 40,000 teen girls and young women have had the opportunity to achieve their own success, leading to positive outcomes for themselves, their families and communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us in celebrating all team members for their continued commitment to create strong girls and strong communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
