South Piedmont Community College

Congratulations to Noah Howorth for representing South Piedmont at the North Carolina SkillsUSA Automotive Service Technology competition!

As part of the competition, Noah demonstrated his skills across 16 different service areas, including brakes, steering and suspension, electrical systems, engine performance, HVAC, wire repair, and electric vehicle technology. Competitors rotated through hands-on stations where they diagnosed problems, performed repairs, and showcased their technical knowledge.

This marked South Piedmont's first year competing in the Automotive Service Technology competition, making Noah's participation an exciting milestone for the program.

Congratulations to Noah for representing South Piedmont with professionalism, determination, and skill. We look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next! 🔧

One of our favorite things about summertime at South Piedmont is seeing our campuses come alive with lush greenery, blooming landscapes, and plenty of wildlife. 🌲

Over the years, we've even had a few special visitors, including goslings that have called our campuses home. When one of those goslings needed help, the team at Carolina Waterfowl Rescue stepped in to provide expert care and support.

Today, Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is in need of community support to continue rescuing and caring for injured and orphaned wildlife. If you'd like to help, please consider making a donation through the link below.

Thank you to Carolina Waterfowl Rescue for the important work you do for wildlife across our region.

Cooking Camp has been so much fun this summer!

For ages 10–18, this hands-on camp gives students the opportunity to get creative in the kitchen while building skills they'll use for a lifetime. From learning new recipes to gaining confidence in the kitchen, our campers have accomplished so much.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us this summer. We have loved seeing your creativity and enthusiasm in the kitchen! 🍽️

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we learn and work. That's why South Piedmont is launching Gator Guide, a new framework designed to help students use AI responsibly while developing the critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills employers value most.

Created by South Piedmont faculty and instructional staff, Gator Guide provides clear expectations for AI use in the classroom and helps prepare students for success in an increasingly AI-powered workforce.

Coming to classrooms across the College this fall.

Even South Piedmont's school spirit has reached the Equator!

While traveling in Kenya this summer, South Piedmont faculty stopped to snap a photo at the Equator while proudly representing the Alligators.

Happy National Mascot Day to Al the Gator!

This year marks an exciting milestone for South Piedmont as we celebrate National Mascot Day with our very own mascot costume for the first time. After introducing Al the Gator as the college's official mascot, we've loved seeing him bring energy, school spirit, and plenty of smiles to events across our campuses.

Be sure to say hello to Al the next time you see him around South Piedmont! 🐊
