Aviso Importante para los Negocios Locales
Hemos sido informados de una estafa relacionada con una empresa llamada Elite Sports Promo (https://www.elitesportspromos.com/) que está afirmando falsamente representar a Pender High School y a las Escuelas del Condado de Pender mientras solicita fondos de patrocinio. Según informes de otros distritos, varios negocios ya han sido engañados.
Para aclarar, ninguna escuela del Condado de Pender trabaja con empresas externas de mercadeo para conseguir patrocinios. Las únicas organizaciones autorizadas a recaudar fondos para nuestros programas deportivos son los Booster Clubs (clubes de apoyo).
Si su negocio es contactado por alguien que dice representar a nuestras escuelas para fines de publicidad o patrocinio, le recomendamos verificar su identidad y comunicarse directamente con la escuela.

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.
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.
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.
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!
