The Piedmont School

Big things are happening on campus! 🌳🚜

We’re excited to share that Smith & Jennings is officially on site, working hard to clear trees and prepare the way for our upcoming construction project. This important step marks real progress as we continue building for the future of our school community.

There’s something special about watching vision turn into reality and we are so grateful for the work being done to help bring this next chapter to life. Stay tuned… exciting updates are just getting started! 🥳

Our Summer Enrichment Program is in full swing! Students are staying engaged with academics while enjoying plenty of summer fun, hands-on activities, and time with friends. Learning and laughter make the perfect summer combination!

Today we honor and celebrate Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and recognizes the enduring journey toward freedom, equality, and opportunity for all.

As we reflect on this important moment in our nation's history, we encourage our students, families, and community to learn, remember, and celebrate the contributions, resilience, and achievements of African Americans throughout history.

Happy Juneteenth from all of us at TPS/JYA. ❤️🖤💚

🎓✨ Celebrating the Class of 2026! ✨🎓

Just a few weeks ago, we had the honor of celebrating an incredible group of graduates as they crossed the stage and turned the page to an exciting new chapter. The Class of 2026 has left a lasting impact on our school community through their hard work, perseverance, leadership, and school spirit. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and cannot wait to see where their journeys take them next.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Your future is bright, and we will always be cheering you on. 💜🎓

A few weeks ago, we proudly celebrated a significant milestone in the history of TPS & JYA with our groundbreaking ceremony. Surrounded by students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters, we marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our school community.

This first phase of growth includes plans for an expanded parking lot and a new John Yowell Academy classroom wing, creating additional space to support the needs of our students for years to come.

More than a construction project, this expansion reflects our shared vision for the future and our continued commitment to providing exceptional opportunities for the students we are privileged to serve. A special thank you to Smith & Jennings , 4th Elm Construction, Boomerang Design Davis • Martin • Powell for their partnership, expertise, and support in helping bring this vision to life. We are incredibly grateful for your role in making this exciting next step possible for our Panthers! 🐾

A heartfelt thank you to United Way of Greater High Point for recognizing TPS/JYA with this special award!

This honor celebrates organizations that successfully launched a campaign to engage new supporters and build a strong foundation for future success. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with United Way and for the support of our staff, families, and community members who helped make this achievement possible.

Together, we are creating a brighter future for our students and school community. 💜

Happy June Birthday to these Panthers!

Congratulations to our amazing 8th graders on completing their middle school journey! 🎉

Once a Panther, always a Panther! 🐾💜
