🌟 Congratulations to Kirk Collier! 🌟

PCSD is proud to celebrate Kirk, who was recently named one of just six outstanding 21st Century Community Learning Center afterschool professionals in Florida!

For the past four years, Kirk has played an important role in supporting the district’s 21st Century Community Learning Center programs. For the past two years, he has served as the sole coordinator overseeing the programs and site coordinators.

His dedication to creating meaningful afterschool opportunities for students and supporting the families who depend on them is making a difference across Putnam County.

This recognition comes at an exciting time for Crew Club, with more than 540 students participating across eight sites and Putnam County Schools recently securing two highly competitive 21st Century Community Learning Center grants.

We are #ProudtobePCSD and proud of the leadership and commitment Kirk brings to our students, families and afterschool programs every day! 💙

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming our newest educators to the PCSD family during our New Teacher Institute! 💙💚

From learning about our district to connecting with fellow educators and staff, these teachers are beginning a journey that will make a lasting impact on the lives of our students. We are so grateful they chose PCSD, and we can't wait to see the difference they'll make in our schools and community.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible community partners and sponsors for helping us shower our new teachers with love and support. Your generosity reminded our newest team members that they're joining a community that truly values education and invests in its educators.

The countdown to a new school year is officially on! We look forward to welcoming all teachers and staff back for pre-planning next week, followed by Meet the Teacher on August 6, when families can connect with their schools and classrooms. Then, on August 10, we'll officially kick off the 2026–2027 school year, and we couldn't be more excited for all that's ahead.

Here's to a year filled with learning, growth, and new opportunities. Welcome to the PCSD family!
