The anatomy class combined their artistic skills and knowledge of the skin to create (fake) wounds. They suffered lacerations, burns, incised wounds, punctures, avulsions, and abrasions. Reports indicated the causes were animal attacks and kitchen accidents. Thankfully, the only lasting damages were food dye stains on the skin and the classroom floor.

Our health classes have had a special guest the past few weeks! Mrs. Rivenbark, our county's EFNEP educator, has been working with our students on the Fuel for Life program. They are learning about food safety, cooking basics, and balanced nutrition. The students learn how to read a recipe and then help prepare a meal to share!
PECHS students will be on a snow day Monday 2/2 for their high school classes. Students taking CFCC classes will be virtual. Enjoy the snow day! #PCSSnowday26

Snow Day Fun! ❄️ Pender County Schools are closed on Monday, so let’s make the most of this winter wonderland! We want to see your best snow pictures—whether it’s building snowmen, sledding, or just enjoying the frosty views. Share your photos using #PCSSnow26, and we might feature our favorites! 📸☃️

The last two days in Mr. Patton's Civics Class students were dropped on an island to debate and decide which amendment in the Bill of Rights reigned supreme! "The tribe has spoken."
