Paul M. Dorman High School is a high school located in Roebuck, South Carolina, United States. The school is part of Spartanburg County School District Six. It consists of a main campus for 10th-12th graders and a separate campus for 9th graders, and a College, Career, and Fine Arts Center. The center features an auditorium, multiple classrooms, an art gallery, kitchen, student center, and computer labs. The campus is located at the intersection of Interstate 26 and Highway 221 in Spartanburg County. Dorman is the state's 2nd largest high school.
Dorman has football, basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, golf, tennis, cross country, swimming, track and field, wrestling, marching band, softball, and cheerleading teams which all play under the mascot of the Fighting Cavaliers. Dorman also has a nationally recognized quizbowl team. Since winning its first national title in 1989, the Dorman High School Academic Team has won five national championships. The cheerleading team won the State Championship in 2007 and came in first runner-up in 2008. The tennis team won its first state championship in 2011.
Dorman has heated rivalries with cross-town Spartanburg High School as well as nearby Byrnes High School.
Every year, Dorman students celebrate "Farmers Day" to commemorate the annual football game against Spartanburg High School. The tradition originates from Dorman's more rural placement and students as opposed to Spartanburg High School's traditionally more urban and affluent students, who would refer cajolingly to Dorman students as "farmers." Students typically take their vehicles "mudding" or "mud-slinging" in the days before the game in an outward display of rural pride and proclivity and wear overalls to school to celebrate a culture rooted in farming. School officials typically accommodate the observance of these activities by, for example, providing alternate parking for muddy trucks.
