Over 800 Putnam Students Will Graduate This Week

It is graduation week for the Putnam County School System.

Deputy Director of Schools Tim Martin said a total of 866 students are expected to graduate in four ceremonies.

“We try to not have two graduations going on at the same time, and the schools do all of that planning,” Martin said. “We just want to have good events for our students and our families and our people do a really good job of planning that out.”

Seniors that attend online school will be the first to walk Thursday at 6:00 p.m. on the Cookeville Life Church Campus. Upperman High School students graduate at 6:00 p.m. Friday at the Hooper Eblen Center.

Saturday, Cookeville High School’s graduation will start at 10:00 a.m. at the Hooper Eblen Center. Monterey High School will host its ceremony at 4:00 p.m. in the high school’s gym.

“Obviously, Cookeville High School is huge with so many people,” Martin said. “They will have a little bit under 600 kids graduating.”

Martin said adult education will have graduation at Trinity Assembly in Algood May 26th at 6:00 p.m.
