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 high school, pine, forest, high and/or school:
“Young people of high school age can actually feel themselves changing. Progress is almost tangible. It’s exciting. It stimulates more progress. Nevertheless, growth is not constant and smooth. Erik Erikson quotes an aphorism to describe the formless forming of it. “I ain’t what I ought to be. I ain’t what I’m going to be, but I’m not what I was.””
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“How far men go for the material of their houses! The inhabitants of the most civilized cities, in all ages, send into far, primitive forests, beyond the bounds of their civilization, where the moose and bear and savage dwell, for their pine boards for ordinary use. And, on the other hand, the savage soon receives from cities iron arrow-points, hatchets, and guns, to point his savageness with.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“So in majestic cadence rise and fall
The mighty undulations of thy song,
O sightless bard, England’s Monides!
And ever and anon, high over all
Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong,
Floods all the soul with its melodious seas.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day—
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.”
—Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
