We're incredibly proud of Putnam County High School students Tristan Waskey and Fabian Martinez for their participation in the EarthCare Leadership Program 2026! 🌿 This prestigious program, hosted by 21st Century Leaders in partnership with Georgia Power, is shaping the leaders of tomorrow through a week-long residential summer institute focused on STEM, sustainability, and leadership development.

Tristan and Fabian have engaged in interactive workshops on sustainability and energy efficiency, participated in inspiring roundtable sessions with Georgia Power business leaders, and tackled team-building exercises and service projects. They are gaining valuable experience in public speaking, diversity, and exploring careers in business, energy, and technology.
Join us in celebrating their achievements and commitment to making a positive impact in our community and beyond. Way to go, Tristan and Fabian!
