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!

Who says math can’t be FUN?! 🔢
Today, our Putnam County High School Service Leadership students took their leadership and service into the elementary classroom, partnering with Putnam County Elementary School Trailblazers in grades 3–5 to make math literacy something students could move, laugh, talk, and learn through!
Our Service Leadership students first studied math literacy and vocabulary so they could turn challenging concepts into activities that made sense for younger learners. Then they put that knowledge into action!
✨ Taught and practiced math vocabulary
✨ Created word problems using the Trail Blazers’ own names
✨ Played Math Freeze Tag
✨ Read, solved, explained, moved, shouted, and LAUGHED
✨ Helped students build confidence while making math meaningful, engaging, and fun
Moments like these show the power of students learning from students, proving that leadership, service, and a little creativity can make learning come alive for everyone involved!

Perfect attendance deserves a sweet reward!
Today, we celebrated students who achieved TRUE perfect attendance — no absences of any kind AND no tardies! These students enjoyed making their own ice cream sundaes and were served by Principal Mr. Patrick and Assistant Principals Dr. Dawson and Mrs. Jones. Showing up every day and being on time matters, and we are proud to recognize these students for their commitment!

“Learning happens all over PCHS… even on Main Street! Mrs. Garvin’s US History class is creating a sectionalism timeline and exploring pivotal points in history.”
We are proud to announce that Putnam County High School has been chosen to participate in the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy for the 2026-2027 school year!
This morning, students kicked off the year by getting to know one another through icebreakers, discussing what leadership means, and jumping right into service by packing books for local children. Throughout the year, they will participate in service projects, grow as leaders, and learn the value of making a positive impact in their community, culminating in a student-led community project.
A special thank you goes to our Chick-fil-A Leader Academy sponsors, Dalton, Owner/Operator, and Michelle, Talent Manager, from the Chick-fil-A Lake Oconee, for their support and commitment to investing in the next generation of leaders.
Being selected for this program is a tremendous honor, and we are incredibly excited to watch these students grow, serve, and lead throughout the year. We can't wait to see all the amazing things that are still to come from this outstanding group!

Coach Keiser and Mrs. Schell’s Georgia Studies classes enjoyed a field trip to the Ocmulgee Mounds in Macon, Georgia! This site has been part of our unit of study this semester, so students had the opportunity to see firsthand what they have been learning about in the classroom. They explored the history and culture of the Native Americans who once lived in the area, viewed artifacts and exhibits, and learned more about the Woodland Village and the significance of the mounds. It was a great day of learning and bringing our Georgia Studies lessons to life!
