I have been blessed to spend 3 years, going on 4 years with such an amazing school and district. The staff truly takes pride in teaching their future generation. Not only is the facility clean and safe, but they also take the extra step in helping their students. District 4 has even been recognized as the number 2 district in the state of South Carolina.

We have a wonderful experience at Pendleton High School. This is a family strong with many years generations in the area. I married into the family and wanted my children to attend my high school. But now, I would not want it any other way. I love Pendleton, I love Pendleton School District 4 and hope my children continue to tradition with their children in the future.
