As we celebrate School Board Appreciation Month, Pender County Schools is proud to recognize Tom Reeves, who represents District 5 on the Pender County Board of Education.
Mr. Reeves began his service in December 2024 following his election and brings extensive experience as a local business owner and community leader. For more than two decades, he has co-owned Ace Hardware locations, building strong relationships and demonstrating a commitment to teamwork, problem-solving, and service.
His background in business and civic involvement supports a practical, thoughtful approach to governance as the Board works to meet the evolving needs of students and staff.
Superintendent Dr. Breedlove noted, “Mr. Reeves brings a strong work ethic and a solution-focused mindset to the Board. His business experience and commitment to the community are valuable assets to Pender County Schools.”
We thank Mr. Reeves for his service and dedication to public education during School Board Appreciation Month.
