Big news for the Class of 2027! The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has recognized National Merit Commended Scholars and Semifinalists, and 14 Knights made the list. Congratulations to Semifinalists Shaan Agharkar, Brendan Blatt, Connor Goldstrom, Neal Narula and Sri Padmanabhan, as well as our nine Commended Scholars. These seniors placed among the highest-scoring PSAT test takers in Georgia. Join us in congratulating this hard-working and multitalented group!

This week, students in all divisions welcomed superstar Eliotte Nicole—singer, choreographer and member of Taylor Swift's performance team. From answering questions about the entertainment industry to workshopping with chorus students, Eliotte encouraged our future stars to follow their passions and persevere until they get the "right yes!" Thanks to the Pace Arts Alliance for making this visit possible. ⭐️🎤

Save the date! Get schooled as the Middle School presents the physical comedy blowout "The Rules of Comedy" in The Zalik Theater on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 9 at 2 p.m. What happens when you're inserted into one of the most popular tragedies of all time: William Shakespeare’s "Hamlet"?

From morning carpool with our varsity football players and cheerleaders to packed stands at Walsh Field under perfect fall skies, Homecoming Friday delivered a full day of Pace traditions. Thank you, students, families and AlumKnights, for helping us celebrate this wonderful community. Happy Homecoming, Knights!

“The first step in conservation is to seek out a wild place for you. Then share that love with someone else. When you love something, you protect it.”

This week, as part of the Pace Academy - ICGL Year of Conservation, we welcomed filmmaker and environmental storyteller Luca Martinez to campus as the 2026-2027 ICGL Visiting Scholar. During his visit, Martinez interacted with students across divisions, sharing how media, art and technology can be leveraged to defend threatened habitats and give a voice to wild spaces.

Our Lower Schoolers are getting buddy-buddy! 💙 Today, first-grade students met their fifth-grade buddies, and they couldn't be happier about their new built-in pals.

To round out Mental Wellness Week, our student Wellness Councils hosted Our Strengths Pop!, a party on the Heyman Patio to celebrate what each and every Knight brings to the Pace community. Rooted in the science of positive psychology, the VIA Character Strengths are 24 universal traits—like kindness, love and perseverance—that help us understand and bring out the best in ourselves and others. After discovering their VIA character strengths, students, faculty and staff celebrated with popcorn and bubble tea. 🧋🍿
