Service Leadership had the absolute joy of hosting the PCES Trailblazers for an Earth Day celebration! 🌎💚
Together, we made personal environmental resolutions, created art using recyclables the students collected, shared lunch, played games, and enjoyed popsicles in the sunshine. It was a day full of laughter, creativity, and meaningful connection.
These 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students—and their incredible teachers—have become so special to our Service Leadership students. The relationships built throughout this year are ones that will truly be missed when our seniors graduate.
Grateful for days like this that remind us what leadership and service are all about.
Today, our outstanding PCHS Work-Based Learning students participated in a Reverse Career Fair at The Plaza Arts Center. This engaging experience gave students the opportunity to highlight their employability skills and strengths directly to local business and industry partners.
Events like this are invaluable, offering real-world exposure and meaningful networking opportunities as students prepare for life beyond the classroom. We are incredibly proud to see our Putnam County High School students shine and confidently demonstrate their readiness for the workforce.

I’m Rebekah Esau, and I teach Service Leadership at Putnam County High School.
Future Service Leadership students just hit the grant jackpot as we were awarded funding for THREE projects:
“Show Up & Show Out” (our alumni + community showcase)
“Level Up the Look” (from everyday service to professional representation: tees, polos, and dress shirts)
“Built to Last” (organization & storage)
Basically, we’re getting organized, looking professional, and celebrating the people who helped build this program.
I’m excited because these initiatives strengthen the foundation of Service Leadership and equip students with the tools, confidence, and opportunities to lead with purpose.
The goal is to develop students who not only serve, but understand their impact, use their voice effectively, and carry those skills beyond high school.
Huge thank you to Putnam Education Foundation for believing in our students and investing in work that matters!

At last night’s Board of Education meeting, we had the honor of recognizing two outstanding members of our PCCSS family — Mrs. Tracy Surmelin, one of our dedicated Facilities Maintenance Specialists, and Mr. Larry Dunn from our Putnam County Primary School Guest Services Department!
These two incredible individuals go above and beyond in their roles each and every day. Whether it’s keeping our schools running smoothly behind the scenes or creating a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors, they truly exemplify what it means to serve with heart. Their commitment, positivity, and willingness to support others make a lasting impact across our district.
