Rivals

  • Bishop England High School – Bishop England is Porter-Gaud's biggest rival and the rivalry is one of Charleston's oldest and most prominent. Porter-Gaud and Bishop England trace the rivalry back to Football in the 1920s, when both schools were located in Downtown Charleston. The rivalry has spread to other sports including Basketball, Tennis, and Volleyball. However, after incidents on both campuses, the Bishops and the Cyclones were unable to battle on their fields for years. In 2011, competition between the two schools resumed after a 4-year hiatus.
    Note: In the fall of 2006, historic rivals PG and BE merged their respective ice hockey teams, marking the first time such a merger has taken place in the school's history.
  • Pinewood Preparatory School – Porter-Gaud and Pinewood have become rivals primarily on the basketball court,as well as, on the soccer field in the past decade.
  • Ashley Hall – Shortly after the merger, Porter-Gaud began to accept female students. As a result, the historical sister school of PMA, Ashley Hall, became an instant rival, primarily in girls' Volleyball, Tennis, and Basketball.
  • Charleston Day School – Porter-Gaud and Charleston Day's lower and middle schools have developed a rivalry in the sports of basketball, volleyball, and, as of late, bantam football.
