Pendleton High School received an excellent rating on the South Carolina School Report Card. This is the highest rating we have received since the new accountability system was put into place in 2017. We are so proud of the hard work that our school leaders, teachers, students, and greater community put into making Pendleton High School the best it can be.

Subject: School Closure Update for Thursday and Friday, October 3 & 4 Anderson 4 Family, We hope you are staying safe during these challenging conditions. Due to ongoing power outages and roads that remain impassable for our buses, we have made the difficult decision to cancel school on Thursday, October 3, and Friday, October 4. There will be no eLearning on these days, as more than half of our families and staff are still without power. In addition, please note that Monday, October 7 is a scheduled holiday, and school will remain closed. Tuesday, October 8 is a professional development day for our teachers, so there will be no classes for students on that day as well. The following schools will remain accessible from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and complimentary food will be provided from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. We encourage community members who need a secure environment and access to charging stations for their devices to visit. Please be advised that the buildings will have power, HVAC systems, and free public Wi-Fi available for use. Pendleton High LaFrance Elementary Townville Elementary Pendleton Elementary Mount Lebanon Elementary The safety of our students, staff, and families is our top priority, and given the current circumstances, it is not safe to hold classes.
