We had a GREAT CFCC Roadshow today! Over 22 different programs were here on campus for our students to discuss the various programs available after graduation.

Congratulations to our own Bevin Stokes for her accomplishments and achievements working with our students in athletics. Ms. Stokes was recognized today by the NCHSAA as a dedicated contributor to high school athletics and maintaining a wholesome athletic environment! #PenderPride

Pender High Families,
I hope this message finds you well. School spirit is high and energy is abounding for Homecoming Week 2024! In advance of impending weather, arrangements have been made to change the date of our Homecoming Football game to Thursday, September 26th, with kickoff being at 7:00 pm. We look forward to welcoming all Pender High supporters past, present, and future for a great matchup against South Columbus High School.
Additionally, this communication serves to share the regrettable information that our Homecoming Parade scheduled for Friday afternoon is cancelled due to expected inclement weather and permitting logistics. We will be working with our school and community based teams to make certain our representation at the Burgaw Annual Holiday Parade is substantial and representative of the great things happening at Pender High School!

Volleyball and Soccer tonight!



This week at PHS!

Pender County School Families,
Today a few school districts in North Carolina were affected by false reports of violence on their campuses. We have been in contact with local law enforcement and there is no credible threat to any of our schools. It appears to be part of a hoax known as “swatting.”
While Pender County Schools has not experienced this issue directly, we know the message is circulating on social media and that many of our families may be understandably concerned about school safety. Please know that our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We take any and all reports of potential threats seriously, and we are making every effort to maintain an environment where students and staff feel safe.
We would like to continue to remind our students and school community, if you see something, “Say Something” using our reporting system located on the main webpage of every school as well as the Pender County Schools mobile app. Also always report, don’t repost. Sharing false information, making threats, and engaging in online harassment are serious offenses that can have severe consequences.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your individual school. Thank you for your attention to this important update.


📢 Schools Open on Normal Schedule Wednesday, September 18! 📚
We’re happy to inform you that all Pender County Schools will resume regular operations on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
