President Barry Corey gave a delightful talk to Pacifica students today on how to choose a college well, and how to make the most of it. He encouraged our students to find the college of best fit for them, to know each college’s guiding ideology, to seek a college that will prepare them to flourish in life and their career, and to find a place where they belong.

Peter Brandes died on January 4th, 2025. He was 80 years old. Brandes was a Danish painter and sculptor, who worked in stained glass and ceramics. He is perhaps most famous for his work on St. Andrew’s chapel at the Roskilde Cathedral, his Urns and stained glass pieces at the Village of Hope, the Library at St. Michael’s Abbey, and his resurrection relief wall and stained glass at Biola University’s Calvary chapel. 

We were honored to have Dr. Malcolm Guite as our guest speaker at the 2024 Lewis Dinner. The recording of his lecture is available for listening and sharing now.

November 22 was filled with festivities as our entire community gathered to celebrate two major Triton Traditions: Friendsgiving & Bring the Rain!

What would we do without our incredible dedicated parent volunteers and their tireless service of our entire Pacifica community! Catch them in action this fall at various events; most notably serving around 400 of us at our annual Friendsgiving on November 22.

We're proud to share artwork from our talented Tritons in our Digital Arts program. View our highlighted artists below:

We are thrilled to announce that Commitment Week was a great success! A heartfelt thank you to the families who generously donated $408,274.48 bringing total contributions to The Pacifica Fund this year to just under $1.5 million. We are deeply grateful for your support!

In light of these good things, some of you may be asking, “Why not allow us to keep our phones in our bags?” The reason is simple: there are more good things to be had by putting your phones and watches out of sight and away from you. We are making these changes, and investing significant time and resources into this program because we believe doing so will be better for everyone involved in our community. We are not making these decisions out of mistrust or a desire to be unnecessarily difficult or harsh. 

Our in-person gatherings are underway! For those not able to attend in person, you are invited to join a 6-week asynchronous reading plan.  To join, order The Odyssey (or use your student’s edition) and subscribe to our Asynchronous Reading Plan.
