Last night, the PCCSS Board of Education had the pleasure of recognizing outstanding achievements by our National Beta students and programs.
We celebrated James Bollen and Yashvi Patel for earning recognition at the National Beta Convention after advancing through state competition alongside fellow members of the Putnam County High School National Beta Club. Competing and placing on the national stage is an exceptional accomplishment, showcasing the talent, dedication, and perseverance of our students among some of the best Beta members in the country.
We also proudly recognized PCCSS for being named a 2025-2026 National Beta District of Distinction, a prestigious honor that highlights our district's commitment to academic excellence, leadership, service, and character.
Congratulations to our students, sponsors, staff, families, and administrators for these remarkable accomplishments. Thank you for representing Putnam County with excellence and helping make our schools a place where students continue to inspire, innovate and excel.

PCCSS teachers, staff, and administrators gathered together for our annual Back-to-School Convocation, celebrating the start of another exciting school year. The event provided an opportunity to reconnect, reflect on our shared mission, and build momentum for the year ahead.
A highlight of the day was hearing from artist and motivational speaker Mr. Sam Glenn, whose inspiring message challenged us to maintain a positive attitude and be a source of light and encouragement, even in difficult circumstances. His creative and engaging presentation left us motivated and ready to make a difference in the lives of our students.

PCCSS' New Teacher Orientation is officially underway! On Wednesday, we welcomed both first-year teachers and experienced educators who are joining our district for a three-day orientation designed to connect, support, and introduce them to #ThePutnamWay. 🦅
