About Product of Putnam

Established in 2019, the Product of Putnam Award recognizes outstanding alumni whose achievements, leadership, and service reflect the lasting impact of a Putnam County education.

Every Product of Putnam began as a graduate of the Putnam County School District. Their stories have unfolded differently, but all began with the same opportunity to learn, grow, and dream.

Product of Putnam honorees are nominated by community members and selected by representatives from the Putnam County School District, the Palatka Daily News, and the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce.

Honorees are selected in the following areas:

  • Agriculture

  • Business

  • Community Service

  • Education

  • Healthcare

  • Industrial Manufacturing

  • Public Service
