It's "snow" secret that the wintery weather turned our regular schedules upside-down. Thankfully, things are looking up & we'll return to school TOMORROW! We'll begin our day with a mini homeroom session so students can submit their 26-27 course requests. See you in the AM!

We have some important tests coming up, too. So, use this time to study and avoid cramming in a blizzard of last-minute review. ❄️



We're away from HTHS, but there's still "snow" much to do!❄ Make sure you check in with your teachers, and submit your course requests before 2/8. If you've finished all your tasks early, read a book & log your minutes for the million minute challenge.



On Friday, January 30, HTHS SparkNC students pitched their Apple App Showcase project at Apple alongside four standout SparkNC teams from across the state. Their blend of creativity, design, and code earned them the Best in Art in Code award. Watching our students confidently share their ideas on such a big stage was a powerful reminder of what happens when innovation meets passion. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. 🍎🎨💻🚀




Because of the expected winter weather across our area this weekend, Pender County Schools will have a “snow day” on Monday, February 2nd.
A decision regarding Tuesday’s schedule will be announced at a later date to allow us to check on facilities and travel conditions. Teachers will prepare their students for the possibility of a remote learning day, we ask that families be prepared as well. Announcements will be made using our normal channels.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. Be safe, have fun, and stay warm!

These grants will allow our Spark Scholars to design, prototype, and iterate using a MakerBot 3D printer while tackling real-world challenges. From bringing student ideas to life to repairing board games for local elementary schools and after-school programs, our students are learning that STEM skills can create meaningful impact beyond the classroom.
This support helps our Spark Scholars grow as creators, problem solvers, and community contributor, one layer at a time.
