Led by Director Teena Carr, the 2026 Georgia School Nutrition Association Director of the Year, our program brings farm-fresh food straight to students’ plates. Her dedication to healthy meals is making a meaningful impact on our community. Thank you, Mrs. Carr!

Week 2 of PCCSS Summer Inspiration Camps was FULL of fun, creativity, and hands-on learning! ☀️

From making a splash with swimming lessons and cooling off on slip & water slides to whipping up sweet treats and delicious pizzas in the kitchen, our students stayed busy all week long! They explored gardens, picking fresh fruits and vegetables, engineered robots, built incredible LEGO creations, and even took their first steps toward entrepreneurship by developing their own business plans.

The energy didn’t stop there, our campers also hit the gym for basketball, baseball, and volleyball, all while enjoying tons of imaginative, creative play with friends! We love seeing our students learning, growing, and having so much FUN this summer. We can’t wait to see what Week 3 brings!

Class of 2026 Students, Families, and Friends,

We are continuing to monitor the weather for graduation tomorrow night at 8PM in the stadium. The forecasts continue to change, so no decisions to change anything have been made. If decisions are made, you will be notified tomorrow as early as possible. The current trend with the weather system is that it continues to slow down and will not arrive until late Friday night into Saturday morning. If you do not hear from us tomorrow, we are moving forward as planned.

Thank you! Our goal is to provide the best experience we possibly can for our students and their families to celebrate this great class of scholars.

✨ PCHS’ Walk Down Memory Lane

Today was full of emotion, pride, and unforgettable moments as the Putnam County High School Class of 2026 took a special “Walk Down Memory Lane.” 🎓 Our seniors returned to the very halls where their journeys began—visiting their primary, elementary, and middle schools. What once felt big and overwhelming now felt like home again, filled with memories of how far they’ve come.

As they walked through the corridors, they were welcomed with cheers, smiles, and applause from students and teachers—creating a truly heartwarming and electric atmosphere. There were hugs, laughter, and meaningful reunions with former teachers who have been part of their story from the very beginning. And for the younger students watching, the message was clear: this WILL be you one day. 💙

*STAY TUNED....full video dropping Thursday! To view all pictures from today's Walk Down Memory Lane, please visit the District's Facebook page.
