Pender High School has always involved every student in every activity that they have put on. The students at the school respect most of the teachers and that goes same to the teachers respecting the students. I would say if the school was to change anything, it would be to change the lunches.

I was born, raised, and taught everything at this school. I pretty much lived at this school from the time I started club basketball. Its not to big so you feel lost and not to small so you feel cramped. It was hard to leave it after graduation because everyone was so friendly over the many years.
