Congratulations to Mr. Luke Smith, Topsail High Public Safety Teacher. He has received one of the highest recognition in CTE for Pender County Schools, the Ronney Jones Achievement Award. Mr. Smith has exceeded every challenge/goal given to him. He keeps his students engaged in the classroom, bringing in incredible guest speakers and taking students on field trips for additional hands on learning. Because of his hard work Topsail Highs Public Safety program has grown and we are excited to be offering additional Public Safety course in the pathway.

Through a partnership with the Pender County Health Department, a free immunization clinic will be held in the auxiliary gym at Heide Trask High School.
The free clinic will take place on Saturday, August 19, 2023, from 8 am until noon.
While this clinic is for middle and high school students who need the T-DAO and meningitis vaccination, remember, other vaccinations are required by the state. Plan ahead with your doctor's office or clinic to ensure your child is up to date on their immunizations ahead of the 2023-2024 school year.
Please contact your healthcare provider or school nurse if you have questions
