Wow! Time flies! Course registration for next school year is already open. From now until March 23, students and parents can add course requests in Infinite Campus by following the instructions on the graphic. All students will meet with a counselor to finalize plans.

TESTING UPDATE: PCS will retest ALL juniors for the ACT on March 19th. HTHS will follow the same test plan/expectations as we did on the 11th. Non-testing students will remain in their 4th pd class until the testing is over. Afterwards, all students will report to 3rd pd.

🎶 Pender County Schools Music Departments Shine! 🎶 Last night, students from SCMS, BMS, and HTHS took to the stage for a Pre-MPA concert, where they performed for judges to receive valuable feedback ahead of the official Music Performance Adjudication (MPA) this week at Ashley High School. This event is an important opportunity for our student musicians to receive constructive comments that will help them perfect their performances for Thursday and Friday’s MPA events. Best of luck to all our PCS schools participating this week, including THS and TMS, who will be performing at MPA as well!
