We're away from HTHS, but there's still "snow" much to do!❄ Make sure you check in with your teachers, and submit your course requests before 2/8. If you've finished all your tasks early, read a book & log your minutes for the million minute challenge.
HTHS SparkNC Shines at Apple 🍎
On Friday, January 30, HTHS SparkNC students pitched their Apple App Showcase project at Apple alongside four standout SparkNC teams from across the state. Their blend of creativity, design, and code earned them the Best in Art in Code award. Watching our students confidently share their ideas on such a big stage was a powerful reminder of what happens when innovation meets passion. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. 🍎🎨💻🚀

Congratulations to TWENTY-ONE of our students who were selected to be part of the All-County Band, an ensemble that included our top band students across the county. They only had around 10 hours to rehearse together before their concert last night! ! Keep living the DREAM and making music! We are so proud of you!
We’re excited to share that SparkLab has received both the Bright Ideas Grant and the MakerBot Gives Back Grant!
These grants will allow our Spark Scholars to design, prototype, and iterate using a MakerBot 3D printer while tackling real-world challenges. From bringing student ideas to life to repairing board games for local elementary schools and after-school programs, our students are learning that STEM skills can create meaningful impact beyond the classroom.
This support helps our Spark Scholars grow as creators, problem solvers, and community contributor, one layer at a time.

🎒🗣️ Student voices took center stage Friday as our Superintendent Student Advisory Council, made up of student leaders from across Pender County Schools, came together to share what’s really happening in their schools, from safety and school climate to academics and overall wellbeing.
🏫 Topsail High School proudly hosted the meeting, giving students from across the district a chance to see how a larger high school operates and learn from one another’s experiences.
💡 In small groups, students tackled big topics like homework, schedules, career and college opportunities, staff recruitment, and mental health supports, turning their ideas into clear recommendations for the Board and helping shape the future of our schools.
