PUTNAM — Two Putnam High School awards ceremonies with 31 athletes winning awards and 59 scholarships awarded.
At the annual Award and Scholarship night 59 scholarships totaling over $119,900 were awarded to 38 students.
William Hull, Putnam Superintendent said, “These events are a highlight of the year, where we get to highlight our terrific students. What makes these evenings extra special is the number of alumni that come back to the high school community and contribute. Both evenings could not take place without these wonderful alumni. Our alumni are constantly giving back to the district and helping our students. I would also like to thank all the organizations and families for their generosity and support for our students. On behalf of the entire Putnam community and Putnam Public Schools, I would also like to congratulate all the recipients. ”
