Eighteen of our rising 9th graders recently had an unforgettable, hands-on experience at LaGrange Collegeāstepping into college life by staying in dorms, dining on campus, and attending classes in art, creative writing, filmmaking, and exercise science.
Their experience extended beyond campus as they explored career pathways at LaGrange Airport, met pilots and mechanics, and even had the chance to take off and land a plane in a flight simulatorādefinitely a highlight!
Students also deepened their learning through visits to local museums and wrapped up the week with a fun trip to Great Wolf Lodge before showcasing their powerful film essay projects, each reflecting a unique and meaningful perspective.
This incredible experience concluded with a special luncheon alongside college leadership, our Superintendent, and community partners, marking the beginning of what we hope will be a lasting partnership. We are so proud of these students and grateful to everyone who made this opportunity possible!

Week 2 of PCCSS Summer Inspiration Camps was FULL of fun, creativity, and hands-on learning! āļø
From making a splash with swimming lessons and cooling off on slip & water slides to whipping up sweet treats and delicious pizzas in the kitchen, our students stayed busy all week long!

The energy didnāt stop there, our campers also hit the gym for basketball, baseball, and volleyball, all while enjoying tons of imaginative, creative play with friends! We love seeing our students learning, growing, and having so much FUN this summer. We canāt wait to see what Week 3 brings!

The Oxford Summer Experience is designed to help Putnam County High School students grow both academically and socially as they prepare for life beyond high school.
