Mr. Pender

5th - 8th Social Studies

Welcome to Jr. High Social Studies!

I am Trey Pender, this will be my second year teaching! My goal for this school year is to introduce students to the importance of Social Studies. Whether I am teaching about History, Geography, Economics, Politics, or Anthropology, when the students leave my classroom I hope they see how interesting and important each aspect of Social Studies is to the world we live in. I'm always an email or phone call away if parents or students have any questions or concerns!

About me

I attended Southeast Missouri State University and obtained a Bachelors of Arts in Anthropology with a minor in History. After graduation I became a Special Education teacher's aide at Shawnee. After taking a year off from working in the education field, I realized teaching is what I was called to do so I received my teaching certification in Middle School Social Studies from a certification program over the summer of 2021. This will be my 2nd year teaching.

Both of my parents are teachers and have over 50 years of teaching experience combined. My dad teaches Middle School Science at Egyptian and my mom is the High School Math teacher here at Shawnee. My sister is also a teacher. She is the High School Business teacher here at Shawnee. I'm a huge Kentucky Wildcats, Chicago Cubs, Dallas Cowboys, and SEMO fan.
