We have had a great start to the 2023-24 school year, all thanks to the hard work of our fantastic teachers, administrators, and support staff, as well as the incredible support we've received from our parents and the community. When I applied to be your superintendent, I heard how awesome Piedmont was, but now, I can confidently say those people were being modest. Piedmont is a fantastic place to live and work and a school district where students thrive and excel.

The safety of our school community is always our top priority. In light of recent events, the Piedmont Public Schools leadership team has re-evaluated safety protocols for all home high school football games. By implementing the following safety procedures, we aim to create a secure and enjoyable environment for all attendees during these athletic events. Your cooperation and adherence to these guidelines are greatly appreciated. The following measures will be in effect immediately.

Students at Piedmont High School earned academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. These programs celebrate students' hard work in high school and showcase their strong academic performance. The academic honors for rural area, Black, Indigenous, and/or Latino students are an opportunity for students to share their strong academic achievements with colleges and scholarship programs that are seeking to recruit diverse talent.

Piedmont Public Schools utilizes the Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff will be training, practicing, and drilling the protocols throughout the year. SRP utilizes clear and common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol.
