ROTC Blood Drive this week!
A big congratulations to the students from Cape Fear Middle, Surf City Middle, Heide Trask High, Pender High, and Topsail High who participated in Honor Band at UNC Pembroke this past weekend.
Students from across the state performed on Saturday at the Givens Performing Arts Center after spending just one day working with guest clinicians to prepare the concert. That is no small task, and our students did an outstanding job. We are proud to see them recognized for their talent and commitment.

Good afternoon Pender High School families,
Due to the threat of severe weather expected on Monday, March 16, 2026, Pender County Schools will operate on a remote learning and work day for all staff and students.
Forecasts continue to show the potential for severe storms, including damaging wind gusts and possible tornadoes, during the day on Monday. Out of an abundance of caution and to help ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families, we have made the decision to move to remote learning and remote work for the day.
All afterschool activities are canceled.
We encourage all families to continue monitoring local weather conditions and to stay safe.
Thank you for your understanding.
We understand that not all students have their Chromebooks at home and that is ok. You can use different devices at home to access their ClassLink, or students will have extra days to make up any work when they get back to school and get their Chromebooks. Please access student email/Google Classroom and be on the lookout for direct communication from your child's teacher.
