ATTENTION 25-26 HTHS seniors! A 2nd dose of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine is due for all 12th grade students by 8/25/25. Students who haven't received this vaccine can visit their healthcare provider's office, our School Based Health Centers, or the Pender Health Department for assistance.
Yesterday, we celebrated our Titan seniors! Today, we celebrate another important Titan, Angel Gallido! He was recently recognized by HES & Pender County as being an outstanding custodian. Way to go, Angel! We know you'll always "be there" for us, and Titan Town will be there for you, too!
We are ready and excited to celebrate our HTHS Class of 2025. You are invited to view the live stream via our HTHS Athletic Booster Page. Congrats Titans! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16HZunm1TU/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Good Afternoon Titan Families,
Our Class of 2025 Graduation Ceremony will still take place tomorrow, May 29, 2025. However, out of an abundance of caution, the Heide Trask High School Graduation has been moved indoors to the Main Gymnasium. Doors will open for families and guests at 8:15am, and the ceremony will begin promptly at 9:00am. Graduates received their allocation of 6 tickets at graduation practice earlier today -- 2 tickets for the floor seating and 4 for seating in the bleachers or overflow areas. All spectators will need a ticket for entry.
We look forward to hosting you tomorrow as we celebrate the HTHS Class of 2025.
Tomorrow, HTHS seniors will have graduation practice at 9am! Please remember to bring any remaining technology, books, and/or fee money with you to rehearsal. Students who do not return their technology/settle fees will not be permitted to participate in Thursday's ceremony.
Families and graduates: As graduations are getting closer, we’re keeping an eye on the weather forecast for later this week. If weather forces any changes in the schedule, each school will announce details right away through phone, email, social media, and school website. As Pender Innovative Learning Academy has an indoor graduation, they're on as scheduled. Thanks for your patience as we work to ensure a safe, memorable celebration for every student.
Familias y graduados: A medida que se acercan las graduaciones, estamos atentos al pronóstico del tiempo para finales de esta semana. Si el clima obliga a realizar cambios en el horario, cada escuela anunciará los detalles de inmediato por teléfono, correo electrónico, redes sociales y el sitio web de la escuela. Como la graduación de Pender Innovative Learning Academy se realiza en un lugar cerrado, sigue según lo programado. Gracias por su paciencia mientras trabajamos para garantizar una celebración segura e inolvidable para cada estudiante.
All good things must come to an end, Titans!
Tomorrow (5/22) is the LAST day of school for the 24-25 school year & it's also the LAST day for 9-11th graders to return their school technology.*
Failure to return devices by the deadline will result in fees and locked computers.
*students attending summer learning will return their device at the end of summer school.
*students taking CFCC classes over the summer should visit Ms.Alvin in the library, so she can verify their device.
Exam season can be very stressful. Thankfully, James and Murphy the Therapy Dog from Paws4People visited Titan Town today to help some of our students calm their anxiety and provide them with emotional support! It was such an amazing experience to see our students interact with him. We can’t wait to have James and his other therapy dogs back again!

Happy School Nurse Day/Nurses Week to our incredible school nurse, Amy Peterson!
Congratulations are in order for another member of Titan Town! Let's celebrate Ms. Alicia Watkins for her recent recognition of being named the Pender County Schools Beginning Teacher of the Month (May)!
According to county leaders, Ms. Watkins was chosen for this recognition because she "has such a positive energy in the school and classroom. She has worked extremely hard to build relationships with her students. She has developed an amazing program where students are partnered with Rocky Point Elementary to conduct class visits and tutoring. She makes her physical class environment warm and welcoming, and she always has high expectations for all students and truly believes they can (AND WILL) succeed academically and behaviorally."
Honestly, we couldn't agree more! Congrats, Ms. Watkins!
Last night, HTHS hosted the annual Pender County Schools Awards program. We would like to congratulate all of the school-level winners/district nominees, especially Ms. Allyson Smith (HTHS band teacher) and Mr. Zachary Rudisin (HTHS history teacher). You both represented Titan town exceedingly well, and we are so very proud of you!
