South Putnam Community School Corporation

Congratulations to Noah Couch who is enrolling at Purdue University majoring in Political Science!

🚌 Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 💙 Today, we celebrate the dedicated team of bus drivers at South Putnam Community School Corporation—the everyday heroes who ensure our Eagles get to and from school safely, with a smile. From early mornings to all-weather driving, they go the extra mile—literally and figuratively—to support our students. Their patience, kindness, and professionalism set the tone for a positive school day and make them an essential part of our school family. 👏 Thank you, South Putnam bus drivers, for all you do! You represent the best of our school spirit, safety, and service. #SouthPutnam #ThankYouDrivers #EaglePride #SchoolBusDriverAppreciationDay

Water service was restored to Central Elementary late Friday afternoon after the earlier water main break. A huge THANK YOU to the incredible admin teams, staff, and students at Central Elementary, the middle school, and the high school for working together and staying flexible throughout the day. We appreciate your teamwork and patience! #EaglePride #Teamwork #SouthPutnamStrong

We want to inform you that both Central Elementary and the Middle/High School experienced a temporary water outage today. While water service has already been restored at the Middle/High School, Central Elementary is still without water at this time. To ensure the continued comfort and safety of our students, Central Elementary students will be escorted to the East end of the Middle School, the side closest to the elementary building, to use the restrooms as needed. Water bottles will also be provided to students as needed. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as circumstances change. We appreciate the patience and support of our students, staff, and families as we work through this temporary issue.

Dr. Corey Smith, Superintendent of South Putnam Community Schools, joined radio host Paul Gable live in the Giant FM WREB 94.3 studio to highlight the exciting progress across the district. From academic innovation, preschool to grade 12, to impactful construction projects transforming our learning environments, South Putnam is building a stronger future for students and the community. #EaglePride #SPCSC #BuildingTheFuture #InnovateInspireAchieve #GiantFM #WREB94.3

Good evening, middle school families. South Putnam Middle School is investigating a concerning student statement related to the school.

The school administration and the student’s family are fully cooperating with law enforcement. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and all necessary precautions are in place for a safe school day tomorrow. Dr. Smith
