Arts
Pisgah High School, despite their small size and rural character, has a strong presence in their art departments. They run a small division showchoir, named "Innergy", which has been functioning since 2005 under the direction of Linsey Smith. "Innergy" has earned a large number of first place awards in their respective category, being considered the best small division group in the southern showchoir region. While "Innergy" is the main mixed group, Pisgah also used to have "Sequence" (a girls group) and "Prodigy" (a middle school group). Pisgah also hosts a newly created Drama Club, which was founded in 2022. In the fall of 2023, Pisgah started its first ever band program.

Pisgah High School operates under the Rankin County School District as previously mentioned. Offering both AP and Dual Credit classes, Pisgah has a fulfilling academic path. Pisgah has also produced two National Merit Finalists in Vanda Spencer (2013) and Tony Holeman (2022).
