Traditions
The First Walk
All-School Dedication
Dedication marks the beginning of the school year and the initiation of the freshman class as they take "The First Walk" down the aisle as a Triton.
Year Round Competition
House Draft
New students & staff are randomly drafted into a Pacifica House for the year to compete head to head in friendly competition year-round.
Kicking off the school year
All-School Retreat
Every September, the entire community ventures to the mountains for the All-School Retreat. This week long event is an annual highlight that intentionally brings together our students and faculty. Through teaching, worship, and recreation, we create a memorable start to the academic year.
Biggest game of the year
Bring the Rain
The Tritons rains rolls and rolls of toilet paper from the stands on Pacifica Christian's first three point shot.
A community gathering
Friendsgiving
As we kick off Thanksgiving break, the whole community gathers around a table for a home cooked potluck organized by our parent committee.
Welcoming in Christmas
Service of Lessons & Carols
In a room lit by candlelight, we enjoy nine cherished lessons of the Christmas story and sing carols alongside our choir in remembrance of Christ's birth.
Rising with boldness
Declamations
Every student at Pacifica participates in the Declamations contest. The finalists declaim on stage in front of the entire Pacifica community. In between presentations, musical interludes by our students entertain as a panel of judges deliberate. At the end of the night, one winner from each category will be crowned.
Off to think & live well
Commencement Week
The community gathers to congratulate the graduating class on all their incredible accomplishments during their time at Pacifica. Having been taught to think and live well, we send off our graduates out into the world.
