What is Required of Students?

Reflection and Celebration 

The final year at Putnam brings together all aspects of the student's journey through a comprehensive reflection process. Seniors craft thoughtful essays that examine their growth across the elements of our Vision of a Putnam Learner, analyzing how they've developed as citizens, communicators, critical thinkers, leaders, explorers, and learners. The culminating experience is an in-depth presentation to a panel of educators and community members, where seniors demonstrate their readiness for graduation by sharing concrete evidence of their growth through their digital portfolios, capstone projects, and personal reflections. This final presentation celebrates not just their academic achievements, but their holistic development as Putnam learners ready to make positive contributions to the world.
