Putnam County High School students brought the energy, enthusiasm, and War Eagle spirit to this morning's Homecoming Pep Rally as we celebrated our team, traditions, and the excitement of Homecoming Week. 🦅
From spirited competitions and class pride to cheering on our student-athletes and Homecoming Court, today's rally reminded us what it means to be part of the War Eagle family. And yes... the crowd definitely enjoyed the fan-favorite Pie in the Face Contest, where even the principal took one for the team! 🥧😂

What an incredible evening of school spirit, community pride, and Homecoming celebration!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students at the Homecoming Parade and Community Pep Rally. Seeing families, alumni, staff, and community members lining the parade route and gathering together afterward was a wonderful reminder of what makes our community so special.
A special thank you goes to our teachers, staff, students, coaches, sponsors, and volunteers who dedicated their time, creativity, and hard work to designing floats, preparing for the parade, and representing our schools with pride.
When our schools and community come together to celebrate our students, we create traditions that strengthen connections, build pride, and remind our children how deeply they are supported. We are truly Putnam Proud and grateful to be part of a community that shows up, cheers loud, and supports our students every step of the way.

Pre-K Week is officially underway at Putnam County Early Learning Center!
Today, district and community leaders kicked off the celebration by becoming "guest travelers" and visiting Pre-K classrooms across Putnam County Primary School. Armed with their Passports to Learning, visitors got a firsthand look at the incredible adventures happening each day in our classrooms.
Pre-K is about so much more than learning letters and numbers. It is a place where curiosity grows, friendships begin, confidence develops, and a love of learning takes flight.
Thank you to all of the administrators and community leaders who stopped by to celebrate our students and teachers today. We are proud of the amazing work happening at Putnam County Early Learning Center and look forward to celebrating Pre-K Week all week long!

Putnam County High School War Eagles Explore Native American Homelands in Oklahoma
Twelve PCHS students recently traveled to Oklahoma as part of our Native American Homelands Lived Experience program, led by Dr. Mike Mortimer and Pastor Avis Williams, with Mr. Ransom Braswell joining the team this year.
Over three days, students traveled through Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Tahlequah, learning directly from Cherokee and Muscogee Nation leaders, educators, historians, and community members. They visited the First Americans Museum, explored the history of Black Wall Street and the Tulsa Race Massacre, learned about Muscogee Freedmen history, experienced Cherokee language and cultural traditions, and visited the Cherokee Immersion School.
One of the trip's most memorable moments came when students received an unexpected invitation to meet Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., giving them the unique opportunity to engage with the elected leader of the Cherokee Nation and share their own learning experiences.
More than anything, this trip helped students understand that Native American history is not simply a story of the past. By meeting people who continue to preserve their languages, traditions, and communities, students saw firsthand the resilience, creativity, and strength of Indigenous nations today. Through conversations, shared meals, cultural experiences, and meaningful relationships, history came to life in ways no textbook can fully capture.
The experience will continue beyond the trip itself as students work to create a documentary that tells the story of their journey and shares what they learned with others. We are incredibly grateful to our community partners, families, and school leaders who make these transformational learning opportunities possible.

We kicked off our first Superintendent Student Advisory Council meeting of the school year today, and it was a great start!
Students enjoyed Chick-fil-A and Krispy Kreme while engaging in meaningful conversations about ways to improve the student experience at both Putnam County Middle School and Putnam County High School. They also began planning for our annual Shop with a War Eagle event and other community service initiatives.
We are excited to see these student leaders use their voices, ideas, and passion to make a positive impact in our schools and community. Here's to a productive year ahead!

FROM EATONTON TO THE CAPITAL OF THE CHEROKEE NATION. This was a remarkable day for our PCHS War Eagles. 🦅
During our 2026 Native American Homelands trip to Oklahoma, our students received a surprise special invitation to meet with Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., Secretary of State Shella Bowlin, and Kimberly Teehee, the Cherokee Nation’s designated Delegate to Congress, in Tahlequah.
Chief Hoskin personally welcomed our students, shared gifts of welcome, spent time visiting with them, and joined us for photographs. Our students also had the privilege of presenting gifts from the Putnam County Charter School System and Putnam County High School to the Cherokee Nation as a gesture of friendship, respect, and gratitude. Our War Eagles shared messages of greeting and thanks on behalf of Mr. Austin and Mr. Patrick while also sharing their own stories and experiences with Chief Hoskin.
For a group of students from Putnam County, Georgia, to receive this kind of welcome from the leadership of a sovereign Nation was an extraordinary honor and a once-in-a-lifetime Lived Experience.
We are excited to share even more photos, stories, and unforgettable moments from our Native American Homelands journey in the days ahead. From meaningful cultural experiences to unforgettable opportunities like this, our students have experienced an incredible adventure across Oklahoma, and we can't wait to tell the rest of the story.

Putnam County Elementary School's PEARLS Club had its second meeting this morning, and the girls were excited to welcome their first guest speaker, Miss Georgia Ultimate, Taylor Mackenzie Troup. Taylor spent time talking with the group about poise and posture while encouraging the girls to build confidence and believe in themselves.
During the meeting, PEARLS members learned about the power of positive daily affirmations and even practiced speaking them while looking in the mirror. They also learned the ever-important pageant walk, a fun activity that helps develop poise, confidence, and self-awareness.
The girls also received their journals, decorated them, and wrote down their personal affirmations. These journals will be used throughout the year as a place to reflect on the valuable lessons and experiences they gain during each meeting.
At the end of each meeting, one PEARLS member selects a food item that many of the girls have never tried before, and everyone gets to experience it together. This time, the choice was mochi! While the texture was definitely something new, the girls absolutely loved it and even asked for seconds.
A special thank you to Miss Georgia Ultimate, Taylor Mackenzie Troup, for taking the time to speak with and inspire our PCES PEARLS. Your encouragement and wisdom made a lasting impression on these young ladies! ✨
🤍 What is PCES’ PEARLS?
PEARLS (Poise, Expressing Emotions, Assertiveness & Advocacy, Resilience & Problem-Solving, Listening & Empathy, and Self-Care & Self-Esteem) is a year-long program designed to help 5th-grade girls build confidence, strengthen social skills, develop leadership qualities, and foster positive relationships.

We had the pleasure of honoring our September Superintendent’s Students of the Month, students who truly exemplify what it means to be a leader both inside and outside the classroom. These students demonstrate academic growth and achievement while consistently displaying character, kindness, perseverance, and respect. They encourage those around them, treat teachers, staff, and fellow students with dignity, work hard, and maintain positive attitudes that inspire others every day.

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing community partners at the Putnam County Fire Department for helping make our Putnam County Middle School September House Celebration so much fun!
Our firefighters spent time meeting students and staff, handing out prizes, and joining in on the excitement with games like tug-of-war and half-court basketball shots. We even had one student sink an incredible half-court shot! 🏀
Events like these are about more than just fun. They help our students build meaningful connections with the public servants who work every day to keep our community safe. Positive relationships with local firefighters and first responders help students see the important role they play and inspire a greater sense of community and service.
Thank you again to the members of the Putnam County Fire Department for your service, sacrifice, and dedication to our community. We are grateful for your partnership and the positive impact you make on our students. ❤️🚒

Last night's School Board Work Session, hosted at Putnam County High School, was nothing short of amazing!
Throughout the evening, our talented art students provided live demonstrations of their skills, painting and working at the pottery wheel while board members watched their creativity come to life in real time. As they painted and sculpted, guests were treated to an outstanding piano performance of Bohemian Rhapsody that had the entire room smiling from ear to ear.
Our Putnam County High School Army JROTC cadets showcased what they have been learning in their drone program and even gave board members the opportunity to try their hand at flying a drone. We are proud to report that no drones were harmed during this exercise! 😄 The evening also featured presentations from the JROTC Rifle Team, who shared information about their equipment, competitions, and the valuable lessons they have learned through their involvement.
Students who participated in various Summer Experience opportunities took the stage to share their unforgettable experiences. Participants in the Oxford College Summer Experience read poetry they had written during their time on campus and spoke about the impact the program had on them.
Students who traveled to Tanzania taught audience members a few words in Swahili and performed a traditional welcome song and dance. Those who participated in the Native American Homelands Tour discussed the places they visited and experiences they gained before challenging board members to create clay effigies inspired by those they encountered during their trip.
The STEM Club wowed the crowd with hands-on experiments that produced plenty of "oohs," "aahs," and even a few gasps! Meanwhile, our FFA members highlighted the importance of agriculture and cultivation while helping board members plant their own succulents to take home.
To wrap up an already incredible evening, attendees enjoyed interactive sing-along activities with the Putnam County High School Chorus & Piano ensemble, performances by the War Eagle Marching Band, and scenes from the Putnam Players' upcoming production of Tuck Everlasting.
The evening was a beautiful testament to the opportunities, experiences, talents, and achievements that make Putnam County High School such a special place.
💙 We extend our sincere thanks to the PCHS faculty, staff, administration, and especially the students who took the time to give our Board members a firsthand look at all they are learning, creating, and accomplishing.
We couldn't be prouder of our War Eagles! 🦅

Special thanks to LTC Frank Adkinson for his remarks and Pastor Avis Williams, our Community Liaison, for closing the ceremony in prayer.
Thank you to our community partners for welcoming our students and staff to be a part of this important day of remembrance.
We are Putnam Proud. ❤️🤍💙
We LOVE our Putnam Pieces Videocast filming days! 🎥
One of the best parts of creating Putnam Pieces is getting to roam the halls of our schools and showcase the incredible things happening across PCCSS. Today was packed with inspiring stories, meaningful conversations, and amazing opportunities to see our students and staff in action!
🐾At Putnam County Primary School, we explored the district's commitment to mental health and had the pleasure of meeting Charlie the Therapy Dog!
🧘 At Putnam County Elementary School, we got in touch with our "zen" side while touring the new Zen Den, a calming space designed to support students' sensory and emotional needs.
🔧 At Putnam County Middle School, we saw firsthand how a grant from the Putnam Education Foundation helped expand the school's Makerspace and the incredible hands-on learning experiences students are enjoying because of it.
🍎 At Putnam County High School, we sat down with Ms. Ravi Hudson to hear her inspiring journey and learn more about her recognition as a GaTAPP Ambassador.
Days like this remind us just how special our schools are and how many incredible stories are unfolding every day. We can't wait to share these upcoming Putnam Pieces episodes with you!
📺 Stay tuned over the coming months as these stories premiere. Trust us, you won't want to miss them!
