Location
Located in Northwest Pasadena, a multi-cultural community with economic and social challenges, PCS’s student population mirrors the local population in its ethnic diversity. We strive to be a positive force and significant anchor in the community. For example, The Fritz Burns Library/Media Center allows PCS to reach beyond our own campus and into the community. The Center has been used as a meeting place for the local neighborhood association, a summer reading program open to the public, and other events that connect PCS to the community.
