History

Piedmont was founded in 1960 as the second high school in Union County. According to local historian Mrs. Dawn Stegall, the land upon which the school is built was worked by enemy prisoners of war from nearby Camp Sutton during World War II. After 2005, school enrollment was divided due to the newly built Porter Ridge High School. Country music star Trace Adkins spoke at Piedmont's 50th graduating class ceremony on June 14, 2010. [2]

Athletics

Currently, the teams compete in the Southern Carolina 3A Conference.

The Panthers were the 1984 and 2013 2A state baseball champions.

The school has also had individual state champions in swimming, wrestling, and track and field. The football team had a 31-game regular season winning streak from 2001–2003, winning the district title during that run.[ citation needed ]

Currently, the biggest rival of Piedmont is Porter Ridge. Historically, Piedmont's biggest rival in high school football was Forest Hills High School.

The wrestling team has had a state finals showing three years in a row, facing the same team each time, Croatan, winning in 2011–2012 with an undefeated record.

The Piedmont Varsity cheerleaders have become highly competitive and finished 5th at state out of 22 squads.
