• Governor's School

     

    The Tennessee Governor's Schools provide eleven challenging and high-intensity programs for rising 11th and 12th-grade students nominated by high school faculty. Each school offers a unique learning environment for students interested in the arts, humanities, agriculture science, STEM programs, advanced mathematics, physics, leadership, international studies, Tennessee history, or potential teaching careers. Students interested in participating in a Governor's School should obtain applications from a high school administrator, school counselor, or other faculty member. Applications, submission information, and critical deadlines will be posted on the webpages of each individual Governor’s Schools site.

     

    You must submit your application to your counselor by the FHS deadline! Applications submitted by students directly to the Governor's School will not be accepted!
