Overall, I have felt supported at my school, I specifically appreciate the opportunities students are given to explore their interests through the freedom of creating their own clubs. Also, I would like to have a wider variety of classes available, such as more AP classes.

Pendleton High School is a fabulous school in Anderson 4. Teachers and administration are welcoming and willing to help in any way. The goal is for students to be ready to enter the next stage of life whether it be college, military, or the work force.
