At E. B. Aycock, we believe that athletics play a vital role in developing the whole student. Our program is committed to creating opportunities for our student-athletes to grow not only in their athletic abilities but also in character, leadership, and academic success. We are proud of our tradition of excellence and excited about the future of our Jaguar athletes.

As we look ahead, we are thrilled to support our future Jaguars as they exhibit their athletic skills on the field, court, and track. More importantly, we expect every athlete to remain a dedicated student in the classroom and a positive role model within our school community. Academic achievement, sportsmanship, and respect are the cornerstones of our athletic philosophy.

Whether you’re competing, cheering from the stands, or supporting behind the scenes, we thank you for being a part of our Jaguar family. Together, we will continue to build a culture of excellence, teamwork, and pride on and off the field.

Go Jaguars!

Pitt County Schools is proud of its rich athletic past, exciting present, and promising future. Our teams consistently capture conference, regional and state championships. The athletic programs strive to provide our student-athletes with an enjoyable and challenging athletic environment which emphasizes the attainment of both physical skills and strong character development, as well as encouraging the lifelong learning process. These programs aim to develop: excellent sportsmanship, a strong work ethic, a spirit of cooperation, leadership skills, and important personal character traits. All student-athletes must be in good academic standing and adhere to county and state regulations in academics, attendance and residency.

The school district offers 10 sports at the middle school level and 15 for high school students (not all of the high schools offer all sports). Athletic programs in Pitt County Schools emphasize academic success in the classroom, student attendance in school and good sportsmanship and citizenship on and off the field.
