👨‍🎓Help us congratulate Class of 2023 PCHS Senior, Braden Umbach!
💙Braden is the son of Heather and Christopher Umbach.
💙Braden's favorite quote: "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory" -Dr.Suess
🎯Braden participated in Scholar Bowl and is a member of FBLA and the National Honor Society.
💙We asked Braden what his advice would be for incoming freshmen. He said, "My advice to incoming freshmen is that high school isn't scary, and actually does go by pretty fast."
👨‍🎓Braden's post-graduation plans: "After graduating from Putnam County I plan to attend State Tech for welding technology. In 5-10 years, I see myself living comfortably and having a job that I enjoy."
💙We asked Braden what his favorite class was at Putnam. He told us, "My favorite class was English class because Ms. Tosspon made it very fun and memorable."

💙Braden's funniest memory was when Hunter Andersen dressed up as Andy Reid and nailed it. 
💙Braden's most memorable moment: "My most memorable moment in high school was when I was Inducted into the National Honor Society."
👨‍🏫We asked Braden what teacher or staff member at Putnam has had the biggest impact on him and why. He said, "I think Mr. Elson had the biggest impact on me because he really made me think about stuff that I usually wouldn't think about."
