Pensacola Private School Of Liberal Arts (SOLA) is a non-sectarian private secondary school in Pensacola, Florida, established in 1969 by William J. Holston to be an alternative to public schools in the area. The school focuses on instructing small classes of students (reportedly less than 18) in grades 7-12.[3] GreatSchools reported that 44 students were enrolled for the 2023-24 school year.[4]
History
[edit] |
Holston was the band director at Pensacola High School and principal of Woodham High School for the 1968-1969 School Year before establishing SOLA. He left Woodham High and the public school district for various reasons, the chief being the commotion sparked by the rezoning of schools.
SOLA was initially located in Pensacola's Sacred Heart Hospital on 12th Avenue. In the early 1980s Holston moved SOLA to his once private residence located on 13th Avenue. SOLA remained at that location until 2013, when the school downsized and returned to Sacred Heart Hospital.
