Campus

Moving from a location closer to the downtown area of Pikeville, the current high school building was constructed in 1976 consisting of classrooms, a library, central two story common area, and a gymnasium, dedicated and named after T.W. Oliver. In 1996, a large auditorium was added adjacent to the school's eastern side. Capable of seating 1000, it was built to augment the building and provide space for performances by the arts and music departments, which previously had been relegated to the gymnasium. Further modifications to the school included a second level weight room elevated above the school's south end, adjacent to the gymnasium, and an outdoor gathering area and Veteran's memorial. The entire school received an outdoor remodel in the mid '00's.

The Pikeville teams, known as the Panthers, compete in archery, basketball, baseball, cheerleading, cross county, football, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field volleyball, and wrestling.[3] The football team won the Class A State Championship in 1987, 1988, 1989, and 2015.
