Pine Forest High School is a high school in Pensacola, Florida. It was opened in 1975. First day of class in the new school was Nov 10th, 1975.
Pine Forest High is located on Longleaf Drive in a cluster of education buildings. Its neighbors are Longleaf Elementary School, West Florida High School of Advanced Technology, which they share their football field with, and George Stone Career Center.
The school was originally designed as a social experiment that included modular classroom walls (without doors on classrooms) in most areas to help promote open communication between teachers and students, as well as to foster the development of better manners and social skills. However, little proof has been offered as to the validity of this idea, and the modular walls were seldom put to use. The school has been renovating and replacing the modular walls with permanent walls.
Additionally, between 2000 and 2004, Pine Forest High School also placed an emphasis on its Journalism program, offering classes for Yearbook, Magazine and Newspaper. Their yearbooks were made in association with Herff-Jones and Jim Owens Photography, which also provided all staging for senior portraits.

Famous quotes containing the words pine, forest, high and/or school:
“...what a thing it is to lie there all day in the fine breeze, with the pine needles dropping on one, only to return to the hotel at night so hungry that the dinner, however homely, is a fete, and the menu finer reading than the best poetry in the world! Yet we are to leave all this for the glare and blaze of Nice and Monte Carlo; which is proof enough that one cannot become really acclimated to happiness.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“I was struck by this universal spring upward of the forest evergreens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“...feminism never harmed anybody unless it was some feminists. The danger is that the study and contemplation of “ourselves” may become so absorbing that it builds by slow degrees a high wall that shuts out the great world of thought.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
