Teacher Tuesday: Ms. Brandi Stettler — SCMS💙📘
Ms. Brandi Stettler serves students at SCMS and is known for her steady support and commitment to helping students succeed both in school and beyond. Staff and families describe her as someone who takes time to build real connections and supports students through a wide range of needs.
What stands out most about Ms. Stettler is her genuine care for students and families. She focuses on relationships and works to make sure students feel supported, especially during challenging situations.
One recent example shared in her nomination involved a meeting with grandparents who had just taken custody of a student. They arrived feeling overwhelmed and unsure. During the meeting, Ms. Stettler recognized them from more than 20 years ago. That connection immediately changed the tone of the conversation. What could have been a stressful meeting became more comfortable and supportive. The grandparents left feeling more at ease and better prepared to move forward.
Moments like this reflect the importance of relationships in schools and the role staff play in supporting families during difficult times.
Thank you, Ms. Stettler, for the care and support you provide to students and families at SCMS. 💛✅

Our Certified Medical Assistant students from Pender High School are spending their Spring Break doing something truly incredible—gaining real-world clinical experience at sites including Black River (Burgaw), Atkinson, Maple Hill, and Destiny Total Health Care.
While many are relaxing, these students are showing what commitment, discipline, and purpose really look like. They are choosing to invest in themselves, earn valuable clinical hours, and take meaningful steps toward their future in healthcare.
As CMA teacher Jamie Garris shared, “I wish I could fully put into words how proud I am of our Medical Assisting students. Many of them have dedicated part of—if not their entire—Spring Break to gaining clinical experience and bettering themselves.”
They are doing BIG things, and I just had to share a glimpse of the excellence happening behind the scenes. The future of healthcare is in great hands! 👏🩺 #CTEWorks #FutureReady #PenderProud
