What an incredible experience for the PCHS Book Club! We had an amazing time yesterday in Athens, attending the annual TomeCon! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the vibrant, book-loving atmosphere. Highlights of the day included an inspiring opening keynote speech by the legendary Gordon Korman (check out his slide in the pictures!) and a deeply informative Author Panel featuring so many of our favorite YA writers. Our members were thrilled to get their books signed. It was such a treat to meet Gordon Korman himself – such a down-to-earth and talented author! TomeCon was also a wonderful opportunity to connect with other high school book clubs and discover new titles to add to our reading lists. We left with full hearts (and even fuller book bags)! Thank you to the organizers of TomeCon for hosting such a fantastic event. We're already counting down the days to next year! #TomeCon #TomeCon2026 #PCHSBookClub #AthensGA #YAauthors #GordonKorman #BookLovers #PCHS #ReadingIsPower#PCHSLC#PutnamReads

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!
