Please join us in celebration, appreciation, and a standing ovation. Affirming that it is okay to shed a tear too. On 1/21/25, Assistant Principal, Rhonder Smith will transition to a new role down the road as Principal of Cape Fear Elementary School. As for PHS, we have a plan. Our house is in order. However, on this day, we ask our community to show some love in honor of her investment in the next great generation. She is one of one. Period. Keep her in your prayers as she continues to impact our greater community in the years ahead. Forever grateful, Pender High School
