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:
“In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
we could have anything we wanted.”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
““I am as brown as brown can be,
And my eyes as black as sloe;
I am as brisk as brisk can be,
And wild as forest doe.”
—Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 1–4)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
