Dear Families,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to let you know that we will have another virtual learning day tomorrow, 2/5/2026.
We completely understand that returning to virtual learning is not ideal. We truly want our students and staff back in the building, learning together in person, and we know how challenging schedule changes can be for families. Please know this decision was not made lightly.
Pender County is a very large county, and while road conditions may appear clear and safe in some neighborhoods, there are still many areas—particularly on the west and north sides of the county—where roads remain hazardous. These conditions make it unsafe for our buses to travel and for students to be transported safely.
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these conditions. Teachers will share expectations for virtual learning, and we encourage students to engage as they are able.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are hopeful to return to in-person learning as soon as it is safe to do so and look forward to welcoming everyone back into the building.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

It’s time to start thinking about next school year and getting ready for registration at Pender High School!
Current students in grades 9–11 will attend an Electives Fair during 4th period on 2/18 to learn about course options before registration begins. This will give everyone the opportunity to see the new courses coming your way next year!
Also on 2/18, from 5 to 7pm, rising freshmen and their families are invited to a Transition Night to explore all courses and opportunities PHS has to offer. This is a great chance to meet staff, ask questions, and get a feel for life at Pender!
📌Course registration will take place February 19 through February 27. Once registration begins, be sure to reach out to YOUR school counselor with any questions!
✨ Don’t miss these important events as we plan for another great year at PHS!
