Current Projects

Strategic Plan (2021-2026)
Our school district’s strategic plan defines our vision, mission, and the strategies we must implement to ensure every student is prepared for life beyond graduation. Whether our graduates enter the workforce, seek career training, enlist in the military, or enroll in college, they will be prepared to thrive in an ever-changing world. We know the work of preparing our students for new challenges requires a creative and bold approach, one which we thoughtfully embrace. This is our commitment to students of the Putnam County School District.

Portrait of a Graduate
One way we will fulfill our commitment to students is by ensuring all graduates develop the skills and character traits outlined in our Portrait of a Graduate. Our Portrait of a Graduate defines a set of six competencies that we believe all students should demonstrate when they graduate from our school district.
