Overview
Athletics play an important part in the life of Pickens County's secondary schools. Young people learn a great deal from their participation in interscholastic athletics. Lessons in sportsmanship, teamwork, competition and how to win and lose gracefully are stressed in our athletic programs. Athletics also help the individual student develop a healthy self-concept as well as a healthy body. Athletic competition adds to school spirit and helps students--spectators as well as participants--develop pride in their school. In our district, the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of student-selected activities is a vital part of our students' educational experience.
Middle and high school students throughout the district can choose to participate in many sports. While not all sports are available in all schools, each school does offer a variety of athletic activities for each student to consider.
To view a particular school's athletic program, please click Teams to the left.
Forms
All student-athletes must agree to abide by the athletic code of conduct and must submit to a physical examination before participating. Home schooled students who wish to participate in sports have to fill out an additional form. Each form is available for download below.

Athletic Insurance
The School District of Pickens County is providing a supplemental accidental insurance policy for student-athletes through K-12 Student Accident Insurance. This is an excess policy, which means you must first file your claim with your primary insurance company. After the primary company has completed the claim, you must then file with the school policy. If you do not have primary insurance then this excess policy becomes the primary policy. This excess policy is a schedule policy, which means it does not pay 100% of all charges.
