    • Cadet Kaden Hill is a certified pilot!  He had his solo flight, passed all his check rides and exams, and graduated!  We are so proud and excited for him.  This opportunity was available to him because of his involvement with JROTC.  Please contact Maj Richardson if you would like information on our JROTC program.  Chadrick.Richardson@ucps.k12.nc.us

    • Panther Global Trivia Team Competes in Academic WorldQuest 2023

       

      The Piedmont Panthers Global Trivia Team competed against area high schools on Wednesday, November 8th at the Hilton Charlotte Center City Hotel in the Academic World Quest Competition. World Quest was created by the World Affairs Council of Charlotte and has grown into a nationwide international knowledge competition played by councils around the country.

      This fast-paced game is played in 7 rounds of 10 questions each round, with 30-seconds for each question. Each team collaborates to answer the questions and submits their answer sheet at the end of each round. The team is advised by Mr. Brian Pitoniak and all students had a great time of fellowship, competing with some of the best schools in the region.

      The following students competed in the World Quest Competition:

      1.            World Flags: Chase Altman

      2.            Geography of New Zealand : Marissa Williams

      3.            History of Apartheid: Riley Kiser

      4.            Politics in Latin America : Haylee Taylor

      5.            AI, Social Media & Technology : Chase Altman

      6.            Current Events : Marissa Williams

      7.            Soccer: A Global Sport - Fun Facts about the World: Riley Kiser

      We are very proud of our Panthers’ academic performance at the competition and look forward to the next competition!

    • Piedmont Warrior Scramble ‘23

       

      Ready, set, go!  On October 14th Piedmont High School JROTC NC-955 hosted the second annual Piedmont Warrior Scramble.  The event brought 6 schools and 73 JROTC cadets together to compete as teams of 4 to accomplish various physical feats across the muddy Piedmont High School obstacle course. As the only high school obstacle course operating in Union County, the course has 8 challenging obstacles, including a 7-foot wall climb and a 10-foot swing over a pool of water. This course is brought to you by the Fire Academy, giving cadets a chance to challenge themselves and each other to accomplish the course in their best time.  At the end of the day, there was lots of mud, lots of laughs, and a few tears as team Squishy Dinosaurs from Reagan High School took first place, followed by teams from Forest Hills and another from Reagan High School.  Out of 15 teams, our own Team Kraken led by Cadet Adetutu took 4th, missing the 3rd place trophy by just 2 seconds!  Other Piedmont Teams led by Cadet Gabriel Curd and Kaden Hill took 6th and 13th place respectively.  Even though we didn’t get the trophies, all the cadets pushed themselves and had an amazing time.  Next up is Raiders Nationals November 17th in Molena, GA where our cadets will compete against 49 other 10-person teams from around the country as they vie to be crowned Raiders National Champions!
