Sportsmanship Corner
Pursuing Victory With Honor
Piedmont High School athletic competitions should demonstrate high standards of ethics and sportsmanship and promote the development of good character and other important life skills. The highest potential of sports is achieved when participants are committed to pursuing victory with honor according to six core principles:
- Trustworthiness
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Fairness
- Caring
- Citizenship
Coaches Stipend Fund
The Piedmont High School Coaches Stipend Fund is the sole source of paying for all Piedmont High School Athletic Coaches stipends. The stipends each coach receives is the only payment they receive for their commitment and time spent coaching our student athletes. We ask that each student athlete donate $385 per sport each year in order to pay for our amazing coaches.
Our goal for 2025/2026 is have 100% of our teams reach 100% participation.
Current Percentage of Athletes Contributing by Sport:
Girls Tennis- 83%
Girls Golf-57%
Girls Water Polo- 90%
