Twenty-five years later, we remember.

On September 11, 2001, thousands of lives were lost, families were forever changed, and first responders answered an unimaginable call.

Today, Pender County Schools pauses to remember those who died, honor those who served and sacrificed in the years that followed, and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry the impact of that day.

For our students, September 11 is history. It is our responsibility to help them understand why we remember.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.
