Pendleton High School is a comprehensive high school that is proud of strong academics and our positive, safe school environment.   We believe that students have different learning styles and individual needs and our goal is to help ALL of our students be successful.   Pendleton High School offers an array of courses including advanced placement, dual credit, career and technical education, and an impressive list of electives like art, Spanish, metals, drama, choir, band, engineering, and many more.

Students have a wide range of opportunities to get involved in competitive athletics, dance, and activities like Leadership and a variety of clubs. An Aspire Center and a School to Careers program support students preparing for their futures by providing assistance for college and job applications, scholarships, and job shadows. Our alternative program and health center offer further supports to students.
