The PAGE Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program, now in its 68th year, is sponsored, administered, and promoted by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) and the PAGE Foundation. Since its creation, the STAR program has honored nearly 30,000 students and the teachers they have selected as having had the most influence on their academic achievement. To obtain the 2026 STAR nomination, graduating high school seniors must have the highest score on a single test date on the SAT and be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of their class based on grade point average.

Today middle school students took to the skies one last time to soar into Putnam County High School for their shadow day. These War Eagles landed when Flight 8 touched down right on the PCHS runway. Our PCHS Ambassadors proudly stood on the tarmac, ready to welcome the Class of 2030 with smiles, high fives, and open wings. Each rising 9th grader was matched with their very own ambassador to help guide them through the halls, classrooms, and opportunities that await them next year.

The Class of 2030 has landed and we cannot wait to see what their future holds!

Together We Soar. Go War Eagles!

Congratulations to PCHS' February Student of the Month Sophia Kelly!

🎶 What an incredible day with the Putnam High Jazz Band! 🎶 We were honored to welcome @DoreenKetchens to our band room, where she visited with students, shared her musical journey, and played right alongside them. Her energy, expertise, and encouragement made for an unforgettable experience and left our jazz students inspired and motivated. Thank you, @DoreenKetchens, for pouring into our students and reminding us of the power of jazz, mentorship, and live music-making! 🎺🎷✨

Students Step Into History Through Immersive Civil War Experience Students recently had the opportunity to explore the American Civil War in an entirely new way thanks to a collaborative effort between Dr. Mortimer and Mrs. Laurie Griffin. Blending historical analysis with emerging technology, the partnership brought hands-on, immersive learning experiences to life—placing students directly into the events they study. Using the school’s brand-new ClassVR headsets, students were transported to pivotal Civil War locations. They explored the trenches and stood among the rocky terrain of Devil’s Den, gaining perspective on the physical and emotional realities faced by soldiers. The virtual experiences sparked curiosity and discussion, helping students visualize the scale and challenges of wartime environments beyond what textbooks alone can provide. Students also took on the role of strategists, planning battle approaches for Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and Antietam. Through collaborative analysis, they evaluated geography, troop movements, and historical outcomes, strengthening their critical thinking and problem-solving skills while deepening their understanding of military strategy. Closer to home, learners examined primary-source maps to trace Sherman’s March through Putnam County. By working directly with historical documents, students connected national events to local history, discovering how their own community intersected with the broader story of the Civil War. Dr. Mortimer and Mrs. Griffin’s collaboration highlights the power of combining subject expertise with innovative media resources. By integrating immersive technology and primary-source exploration, they created meaningful opportunities for students to engage with history in active, memorable ways. As classrooms continue to evolve, experiences like these demonstrate how interactive tools and cross-disciplinary partnerships can transform learning—ensuring students don’t just read about history, but truly experience it.
