NPHS and NPMS have completed our state mandated intruder safety drill this morning. As part of our safety program students were instructed on ALICE yesterday and held a drill this morning.

Unfortunately due to the ongoing health pandemic, we will not be hosting a community Veteran's Day Program. Our NPTV Film Production crew has produced a short program that will be shown to each Engage class tomorrow to recognize the contributions our veterans had made to this great country. We will share this production tomorrow on the NP Facebook page for your viewing pleasure as well. North Putnam High School is extremely proud of all the young men and women who have left NPHS to go on to serve this great country by enlisting in one of the branches of the military. We hope that we can all gather again soon to celebrate our veterans and rejoice in the freedom that they have fought to preserve.

Good afternoon Cougar Nation, First, I wanted to say to everyone, thanks for being patient throughout the fall athletics season! Working through this current climate has been quite challenging. I would like to say that we are happy to finally have a solution for WINTER athletic sport passes with our new online ticketing system. We are offering winter sports passes for both adults and students. Each student pass comes with a pep club shirt (please see attachment). The winter passes are available now through December 1st. In order to purchase your pass, you will need to go to: secure.payk12.com. Once on the site: 1) Search North Putnam High School. 2) In the top left corner, select: Passes & Season Tickets. 3) Choose Adult or Student Winter Sports Pass ***At this time, we will not be having spectators at home swim meets. Only volunteers, coaches and student athletes. Our hope is to livestream home swim meets. ***Also, please be aware that in this current environment there may need to be some capacity adjustments going forward throughout the winter. If that situation happens, we will be working off of a refund schedule based off of the time of the year. If you have any issues purchasing a season pass, please contact the athletic department. Thanks for your patience and GO COUGARS!
