FHS one of nine back-to-back STEM state awardees

Tennessee Department of Education announced Thursday, May 8, that Farragut High School received the STEM designation — which recognizes excellence in delivering high-quality, integrated education related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

In fact, FHS became a two-time recipient of the STEM designation, joining just eight other schools statewide to accomplish “repeat” success.

Only three other Knox County Schools have ever received this designation. 

FHS and the other honorees “serve as models for other schools across the state, as they reflect dedication to creating a comprehensive, student-centered learning environment that emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration and real-world application,” a TDE press release stated.
