Reminder: all students attending the football game/trunk or treat are not allowed to stay after school. They must leave campus and return when the gates open at 5:30. Thank you.

Our seniors enjoyed a college tour of UNC-Chapel Hill in the rain this week! Students were able to learn more about the application process, dorm life, and the many subjects that Carolina has to offer! 🎉Thanks to our Next Step Advisor for this amazing opportunity!



🎭The Theatre students went to see Little Shop of Horrors in a black box production. They got a backstage tour where they met the cast, and saw the set design and special effects up close.


Juntos is BACK! This year our Juntos group has more than doubled in size and is more active than ever! We are excited to see ALL the great things that this group accomplishes this school year.

🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟
Meet Montez, a student at Pender High School, recognized for his leadership, kindness, and helpfulness. Even in just the first weeks of school, Montez has gone above and beyond to make his classmates feel welcome. He lends a hand with schoolwork, encourages others, and creates a positive atmosphere in the classroom. During presentations, he empowers shy students by listening attentively, clapping when they finish, and showing genuine support—helping his peers build confidence.
Montez’s outgoing personality and artistic talents make him a role model at PHS, where his kindness continues to inspire those around him.
Outside of school, Montez enjoys fashion and art. His favorite foods are chicken alfredo, spaghetti, pizza, and wings, his favorite colors are pink and blue, and an interesting fact—he hopes to become a travel RN one day.
💙❤️ Congratulations, Montez—you are a shining example of Patriot leadership and kindness!
