Pitts was a three-year starter for Virginia Union University’s football team, 1921 to 1924. On the 1923 National Championship Football Team, he started as a running back. He was inducted into the school’s Football Hall of Fame in 1928.
Pitts epitomized the Parker-Gray experience. As principal of Parker-Gray from 1938 to 1965, Pitts pressed for curriculum expansion including business education, art, dramatics, and industrial art; equal opportunities in education including physical education for girls; and continuous upgrading of teacher preparation. Parker-Gray achieved recognition as an outstanding institution of learning and one unequaled in athletics.
