    Beyond Putnam: How Travel Shapes Student Learning - 4
    May 11 2026
    Beyond Putnam: How Travel Shapes Student Learning In this episode of the Putnam Proud Podcast, we highlight the powerful role travel plays in shaping student learning and perspective. We’re joined by high school students from across grade levels who recently took part in unforgettable educational travel experiences—from freshmen exploring the rich history of St. Augustine, Florida, to sophomores walking the monuments and memorials of Washington, D.C., and juniors immersing themselves in culture, history, and art abroad in Italy. These journeys go far beyond sightseeing. Educational travel helps students connect classroom lessons to real-world experiences, deepens cultural understanding, builds confidence and independence, and sparks curiosity that lasts long after the trip ends. By stepping outside their everyday environment, students gain new perspectives on history, government, culture, and themselves—returning home with memories, insights, and inspiration that enrich their academic and personal growth. This episode celebrates learning without walls and the meaningful ways travel helps our students grow into informed, engaged, and globally minded individuals. Thanks for listening.

  • War Eagles Abroad: Learning Beyond Borders - 3

    War Eagles Abroad: Learning Beyond Borders - 3
    Feb 25 2026
    War Eagles Abroad: Learning Beyond Borders During the summer of 2025, PCCSS faculty, administrators, and board members traveled to Tanzania in East Africa to determine whether this could become a safe, high-quality, life-changing international travel opportunity for our students. Tanzania is a unique country along the Indian Ocean, home to the Serengeti Plain, Mount Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater, and Olduvai Gorge, often called the cradle of humanity. Our team partnered with long-standing University of Georgia programs led by Dr. Lioba Moshi and worked closely with experienced professionals at Zara Tanzanian Adventures to review safety, lodging, transportation, and academic value. They visited local schools, planted a tree at the Upendo--One Kids at a Time center, and built strong relationships that reflect shared values of learning, service, and leadership across two continents. As a result of this successful exploratory visit, we are preparing to take six Putnam County War Eagles to Tanzania for a powerful Lived Experience in June 2026. This Lived Learning trip will challenge them, inspire them, and expand their vision of what is possible. These students will stand where human history began, engage directly with educators and peers across the globe, and participate in meaningful service that strengthens international partnerships. They will represent our community with excellence while gaining firsthand insight into history, science, culture, and global leadership. When the whole world becomes curriculum, War Eagles learn to lead anywhere. For more information about our upcoming trip to Tanzania, please contact Dr. Avis Williams at (706) 485-5381. Thanks for listening.
