ACLU lawsuit

Pace High School is notable for being the subject of a religious freedom lawsuit from the ACLU. When questioned about the lawsuit, Principal Frank Lay stated that there are probably no students that are complaining about religious freedoms. He also said that the ACLU would most likely not have a "student 1" and a "student 2" when they got their day in court. [1]
