Our Putnam County High School Service Leadership students surprised their Putnam County Elementary School Trailblazer buddies today for Read Across America!
They spent time enjoying lunch together, playing on the playground, and sharing some special reading time. To make the day even sweeter, each Trailblazer student was gifted a brand‑new book from their Service Leadership buddy. It was such a wonderful way to celebrate the joy of reading and strengthen the bond between our students.

Celebrating Black History Month at Putnam County High School!
Our PCHS Service Leadership class had the honor of hosting a Black-Owned Business Expo on campus today! Local entrepreneurs were invited to share their stories, inspire our students, and showcase the incredible impact Black-owned businesses have in our community.
This event was designed to promote and support local businesses while giving students a meaningful opportunity to learn directly from business owners. Students walked from booth to booth, asking questions about each owner’s journey, challenges, successes, and the wisdom they’ve gained along the way.
It was truly inspiring to watch our students engaged, curious, and motivated by real-life examples of leadership, resilience, and innovation. A huge thank you to the business owners who invested their time, energy, and experiences into our students. Your voices made a lasting impact!

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!
