📣✨ October is National Principals Month! ✨📣
All month long, we’ll be celebrating the incredible principals of Pender County Schools by sharing short video spotlights. 🎥
From what inspired them to lead, to their favorite memories from school, to the advice they’d give their younger selves — you’ll get a chance to see the heart, humor, and humanity behind the title “Principal.” 💙💛
Stay tuned throughout October as we feature principals from across our district. We can’t wait for you to hear their stories and get to know them even better! YouTube link - https://youtube.com/shorts/zTf44tBLYI4?feature=share

The Surf City Sharks pulled off an incredible 20-6 win last night against the previously undefeated Cape Fear Middle School—the same team they lost to in their season opener, making this victory even sweeter! It was a night to remember, especially as it was 8th Grade Recognition Night, a special event to celebrate the hard work and leadership of our amazing 8th grade players.
Colby Roberts had a great performance with two touchdowns, while Robo De’Leon added 1 more touchdown to the scoreboard. The defense played tough all night, with big plays across the board, highlighted by Roman Harris’s clutch fumble recovery that gave the Sharks another key possession.
It was a true team effort, fueled by the support of our amazing fans!
The Sharks came out with intensity, focus, and determination, proving just how far they’ve come since that first game. . What a night for the Sharks — way to bounce back and finish strong!
Way to go, Sharks!
