A group of Pendleton High School FFA students competed in a District Ag Sales Career Development Event (CDE) at Echo High School on Friday, October 22, and earned the top spot.

If you think doing math or language arts was difficult during online learning last year, try a class where you cook and bake for your grade.

Chris Garrigues, Math Teacher at PHS

Chris grew up in Virginia Beach, VA, and has lived in Pendleton for eight years. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Georgia Institute of Technology and his master’s in mathematics education from Oregon State University. Chris previously taught math, robotics and science in Pilot Rock and Hermiston and coached youth basketball and baseball for the past two years. Chris said he likes to run (really far), read all kinds of books and experience all the fun stuff his son likes to get into. He is excited to finally teach kids and work with families in the same town where he lives!

Welcome, Chris!

Please help us celebrate and pay tribute to our retirees from the Pendleton School District.
