Commitment to Community
Pilot is dedicated to showing people they matter at every turn – in its travel centers, on the road or beyond. Through its Miles of Good initiative, the company supports the communities it serves by focusing on three key pillars: education, safety and veterans. As part of this ongoing commitment, Pilot’s $10,000 donation to Jefferson County Schools will fund the new BioSTEM pathway at Jefferson High School.

“This vital funding will provide our students and teachers with access to cutting-edge resources and hands-on science lab learning experiences that inspire innovation and prepare our students for future careers in STEM fields,” said Missy Hayes, CTE supervisor at Jefferson County Schools. “Community partnerships like this are essential—they empower our schools to go beyond the traditional classroom boundaries and foster real-world opportunities that benefit both educators and learners.”
