Friday Night Lights are back! 🏈
In this episode of The Pulse, Superintendent Dr. Rick Surrency sits down with PCSD’s 2026 football coaches to talk about the excitement and opportunities ahead this season:
🏈 Lantz Lowery – Palatka Jr.–Sr. High School
🏈 Erik Gibson – Interlachen Jr.–Sr. High School
🏈 Tim Ross – Crescent City Jr.–Sr. High School
Coaches discuss their goals for the season and their commitment to supporting student-athletes both on and off the field. From nutrition, hydration, and physical conditioning to mental preparedness, they emphasize the importance of developing the whole student. Most importantly, academics remain at the forefront, because education is the foundation for success long after the final whistle.
🎉 Come out, support our teams, and experience the excitement of Friday Night Lights across Putnam County this season!
Go Panthers! Go Rams! Go Raiders! 🏈

We also want to give a special shoutout to Willie McKinnon from Trinity Baptist Church for his steadfast, continuous support of our students and school community—your encouragement means the world to us.
