Congratulations to the students who were honored at our Sophomore Honors Banquet this week! We gathered to celebrate a remarkable group of sophomores who have reached a significant milestone in their academic journeys.
Achieving a 3.5 GPA or higher after three semesters is no small accomplishment. It requires discipline, late-night study sessions, and a genuine commitment to excellence. Seeing our students fill the room alongside their families made the celebration even more special. Students, your grit and passion for learning are inspiring. We can’t wait to see what you achieve in the semesters to come!

Congratulations to our qualifying teams who will be competing in the 2026 STARTedUP Challenge. The West Central Indiana Regional Competition (Region 7) will take place on April 27th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Smith Magna Cater Room in Scott College of Business at Indiana State University in Terre Haute. 4 of the 10 teams in Region 7 are from South Putnam!

Congratulations to Kevin Rounds, the new Athletic Director of South Putnam Middle and High School beginning with the 2026 - 2027 school year.
