The Putnam City Schools Centennial Center is a vibrant hub for the district and community. The two-story facility features administrative offices, large and small conference rooms, professional development spaces, areas for community events, a performing arts auditorium, catering kitchen, and a large community park with outdoor classroom areas and a bandshell for concerts. Visitors arrive through the entry rotunda, which also functions as a gallery highlighting the district’s 100-plus-year history. The rotunda has lighting accents in the school district’s colors, blue, and orange; they are employed throughout the facility, inside and out, to reinforce the district brand.
