, the county's only performing arts magnet program. Students wishing to attend the program must audition in the Spring of their 8th grade year. Students audition for their "Major", the art that will be the focus of their studies at Pebblebrook. Once accepted, students may also choose a "Minor", to be studied in addition to the "major." The program offers rigorous training in Dance, Drama, Technical Theatre, and Vocal. The Orchestra and Band programs are also part of the Fine Arts Department at Pebblebrook, though they are not part of CCCEPA and students cannot audition for them. The program is housed in the Betty A. Gray Enrichment Center and the Earl Reece Jr. Performing Arts Theatre. The Magnet Program status gives the administration more freedom from the Pebblebrook administration team whilst the students are still fully qualified pupils at Pebblebrook High School. The CCCEPA was a realized dream of the late Linda Green, Chorus Director during the 80's era. Additionally, the High School Principal during that time was Gwen Paul. The Theatre building was constructed on what was originally the Driver's Education Range and was completed in 1988.

Campus
Pebblebrook has had two campuses in its history. The first at the (formerly) Lindley Middle School building on Pebblebrook Circle, the second at its current location (991 Old Alabama Road). The school has two gyms: the John Morgan III building, and the Kay Jackson Gym building. It should be noted that Pebblebrook has always struggled to have sufficient space for its functions due to the early on decision to move it out of a structure that was designed for a High School and into a structure that was designed for a middle school. (Thus explaining, smaller inadequate gyms, dining facilities, and overall sparse acreage.)Feeder schools
