Welcome to Pendleton High School

Home of the Buckaroos

At Pendleton High School, we are committed to providing a challenging, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed. We take pride in our tradition of academic excellence, strong school spirit, and positive school culture that prepares students for success beyond graduation.

Recognizing that every student learns differently, we strive to meet the individual needs of all learners through a wide range of academic opportunities. Students can choose from Advanced Placement (AP), dual credit, Career and Technical Education (CTE), and a diverse selection of elective courses, including Art, Spanish, Metals, Engineering, Drama, Choir, Band, and many others.

Life at Pendleton High School extends well beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to get involved through competitive athletics, student leadership, and numerous clubs and organizations that help build confidence, character, and lifelong connections.

Preparing students for life after high school is one of our highest priorities. Our Aspire Center and School-to-Careers program provide personalized support with college and career planning, scholarship applications, job shadows, internships, and postsecondary planning. Additional student supports, including our project-based learning program, PVLA, and on-campus health center, ensure that every student has access to the resources they need to thrive.

At Pendleton High School, we are proud to help every Buckaroo develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to achieve their goals and make a positive impact in their community.

Go Bucks!
