On April 18, 2013, the Pine Forest Advisory Council voted to move forward with a recommendation from a community group to name the Media Center the Hazel H. Scales Media and Resource Center.  This measure will now be advertised and forwarded to the Escambia County School Superintendent, Mr. Malcolm Thomas for further board action.

If for any reason there is another name to be considered for the Pine Forest Media Center please forward that request to Mr. Frank Murphy, Principal of Pine Forest High School.  Submissions can be made via email at fmurphy@escambia.k12.fl.us.
