PCS Athletics

Pitt County Schools is proud of its rich athletic past, exciting present, and promising future. Our teams consistently capture conference, regional and state championships. The athletic programs strive to provide our student-athletes with an enjoyable and challenging athletic environment which emphasizes the attainment of both physical skills and strong character development, as well as encouraging the lifelong learning process. These programs aim to develop: excellent sportsmanship, a strong work ethic, a spirit of cooperation, leadership skills, and important personal character traits. All student-athletes must be in good academic standing and adhere to county and state regulations in academics, attendance and residency.

The school district offers 10 sports at the middle school level and 15 for high school students (not all of the high schools offer all sports). Athletic programs in Pitt County Schools emphasize academic success in the classroom, student attendance in school and good sportsmanship and citizenship on and off the field.

Our high school teams compete under the rules and policies governed by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA). Each high school participates in an NCHSAA-approved conference against schools in the surrounding area. D.H Conley (4A), J.H. Rose (3A), and South Central (3A) compete in the Big Carolina 3A/4A Conference. Ayden Grifton (2A), Farmville Central (2A) and North Pitt (2A) all compete in the Eastern Plains 2A league. 

Our middle schools compete in the Pitt County middle school conference that is made up of two divisions.  The Division 1 Schools are A.G. Cox, E.B. Aycock, Farmville, and Hope.  This conference also hosts Greene Middle School and P.S. Jones from outside of our school system.  The Division 2 Conference consists of Ayden, Bethel, Chicod, Eppes, Grifton, Wellcome, and G.R. Whitfield.  All athletic activities are held in compliance with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s (NCHSAA), NC DPI, and local LEA policies.
