The Pender Public School District is seeking applications for the position of Secondary Principal (Grades 7-12). The link for the official job posting is: https://www.nebraskaeducationjobs.ne.gov/jobs/pender-public-schools/secondary-principal-grades-7-12-2/

Pendragon Community, As many of you may know, I informed the Pender Board of Education that I will be resigning from my position of 7-12 Principal at the end of the 2022-2023 school year. I have accepted the Superintendent position with Thayer Central Community Schools in Hebron, Nebraska. It has been a privilege to serve the PPS school district in this position for the last 9 years. Along with me, my wife Tara will be leaving her elementary teaching position which she has held for the last 8 years at PPS. We can’t thank the entire community enough for giving us the chance to work and live here. The town of Pender has become our home and always will be for our children. We will all miss the school, the Pender-Thurston area, and all the wonderful things that happen here. We are both looking forward to this new adventure but wanted to say thank you to you all. Sincerely, Eric & Tara Miller; and Family
