WHY PIKE?
Our internal structure is based upon four pillars - Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, and Gentlemen. Scholars are students who excel in the classroom, sit in front of class every day, and have a willingness to learn. Leaders are those who hold positions in organizations, are reliable/dependable, and are always willing to help others. Athletes are more than just good at sports. We want someone who is competitive in all aspects of life and who holds a winning attitude on the field or in the classroom. Gentlemen are those who are thought of as courteous, respectful, and honorable to any and all they may meet. With these four pillars, we believe we can shape the most-best men.
