He was also employed by Spartanburg School District Six, where he was the principal of Roebuck High School and Roebuck Jr. High School, and was also assistant superintendent. After retiring with forty-three years of service, he continued to be actively involved with the district's school and community activities; and

Whereas, Mr. Putnam faithfully served his church, Roebuck Baptist Church, for over sixty years. He served as a Sunday School teacher, the Sunday School superintendent, he established and led the Adults Unlimited Class, and served on many committees.
