Athletics
The athletic program at The Piney Woods School is an essential part of the overall development of our students, which enables the athletes to reach their full academic potential. The primary focus is to provide an environment which facilitates each students’ academic success through athletic competition.
Our goal is to assist all student athletes with the transition through high school into college, and provide continued support in all phases of academic and professional development, culminating with graduation. The program operates on a proactive rather than reactive approach. Coaches stay in contact and informed on their respective athletes through consistent communication with the Athletic Director and /or School Administrator.
The Piney Woods School is a proud member of the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA). The school is classified as 2A according to the MHSAA. As a result, the school is able to compete with any of the member schools in various sports and activities. The school is obligated to follow all the rules and regulations set forth by the MHSAA.
