Sports
The sports teams are known as the Lancers, and the school colors are cardinal red and gold. PCC's baseball team uses Jackie Robinson Field, a baseball field near the Rose Bowl, for practices and home games.
The current stadium, Robinson Stadium, is named for Jackie and Mack Robinson, both of whom were PCC alumni. The stadium was completed in 1999 after a renovation to move the stadium from a North-West position to a East-West direction. Recently, Robinson Stadium's surface has changed to SprinTurf and the track was converted to all-weather track. Besides PCC athletics, Marshall Fundamental Secondary School, Pasadena High School, and Blair International Baccalaureate School uses Robinson Stadium for some high school home football games due to lack of resources on the respective campus fields.
Athelic programs available are: Basketball, cross country, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, baseball, softball, football, and soccer.
