Alum: Putnam prepares you for a career in the trades rather than for college. However, I'm currently in college because of the help of my teachers and guidance counselors. They really do go the extra mile if you approach them and tell them your plans (or lack thereof). With a good student government, I think you can have great memories of Putnam. Some teachers are tough, but they grow on you after four years of seeing them around. They're very strict on fights and quickly handle any drama going on.
The school looks like a mall, it has a bank, a school store, and a cafe for visitors. It has a whole kitchen and dining area for culinary students, large garages for Carpentry, Auto Mech, and more. There are trades from Retail and Early Child Care to IT. If you're a hands-on person and want to have a close experience to the trades, Putnam is the perfect balance of Academic and Vocational education.
