The Castle...
In 1931, John Ogden finished constructing his family's home on 20 acres in Buckhead. The newly formed Pace Academy acquired a Ogden property in 1958, and this home, now Kirkpatrick Hall, served as the schools first classroom building. It now houses Paces' administrative offices.
Pace Academy is a K-12 college preparatory private school, located at 966 West Paces Ferry Road in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, Georgia. Pace has approximately 1080 students.
Pace Academy was founded in Atlanta 1958 by an interfaith group of local community leaders. They envisioned a community open to fresh ideas and debate in the great liberal arts tradition. Although the school is not affiliated with a specific church or religion, it adheres to Judeo-Christian values and places a major emphasis on character development.
In 1964, Pace graduated its first class, with 13 students receiving diplomas. Further improvements to Pace's athletic facilities were made in 1966 when the school constructed a gymnasium and enlarged the athletic field. This facility was dedicated to the memory of William T. Boyd, who had served as an outstanding president of the Pace Parents Club. In 1971, Bridges Hall was constructed and named in honor of Russell Bridges, who had served as chairman of Pace's Board of Trustees for 10 years. It housed the Lower School, some Upper School classrooms and the present library. Improvements to the athletic facilities included the addition of a swimming pool and tennis courts.
