Piedmont Public Schools is home to over 4,650 students, grades pre-k thru 12. It is the goal of the Piedmont Activities and Athletics Department to enhance the educational process of students who have an interest in athletics, fine arts, or any other extracurricular activity and want a forum to challenge their physical and emotional capabilities. We offer a full range of competitive athletics and activities to over 1,700 secondary students. Our professional staff is committed to the ideals and basic fundamentals of sportsmanship, responsibility, work ethic and character development that are critical in any extracurricular program. Recent bond issues have provided an indoor training facility, turf football field, stadium upgrades, new track. We will soon break ground on new softball and baseball fields and a $15 million athletic facility. Our student-athletes have experienced success-- nine high school competing sports were 5A state qualifiers this year and the Girls' Fast Pitch Softball and Girls' Basketball teams are reigning State Champions.
