In 1969, the high schools located in Belle Union, Fillmore, and Reelsville consolidated to form South Putnam High School. The school nickname “Eagles” was chosen. The school colors combine red (Fillmore Cardinals), Blue (Belle Union Panthers), and White (Reelsville Warriors) into the color scheme of South Putnam.

The school participated in the West Central Conference until 2015 when the conference merged with the Western Indiana Conference. Students can participate in a variety of sports including boys’ and girls’ golf, tennis, swimming/diving, basketball, track/field, cross country, wrestling, football, girls’ volleyball, boys’ baseball, and girls’ softball

Academically, students at South Putnam High School have the option to take part in Advanced Placement courses, Advance College Project courses through Indiana University, College Challenge courses through Indiana State University, ALPHA Program at DePauw University and Ivy Tech Community College dual credit courses.
