It opened during the middle of the 1963 school year to address overcrowding at Warwick Veterans High School, which taught almost four thousand students at the time of opening.[4] Nevertheless, the new establishment eventually became notorious for the double session schedule to alleviate its own excess capacity problem by the late 1960s. Today, Pilgrim has an enrollment of 1,400 students thanks to a consolidation effort by the school department, after years of declining student population.
Pilgrim was historically well-known for sports, most notably the baseball team as they won multiple state championships all through a dynastic period. Most of the school's championships were won throughout the 1970s. In recent years, the school's athletics entered a renaissance. Most recently, the cheerleading, boys' ice hockey, and boys' soccer teams won division championships.[5] The football team, after posting only three winning seasons between 1995 and 2018, finally appeared (but lost) in the state's Division III Super Bowl since their latest appearance in 1995.[6][7]
