Hamilton County Schools Leads The State In Governor’s Civic Seal Schools Wednesday, May 19, 2021
Hamilton County Schools led the state in the number of Governor’s Civic Seal Grants it received with nine schools and the district receiving nearly $65,000.
The grants will support the implementation of high-quality civics education programs to prepare students for college, career and civics life. This includes high-quality curriculum, professional development for teachers and expanded access for students to explore civic engagement.
“The Governor’s Civic Seal is important because it showcases our commitment to civics education and provides expanded opportunities for students to participate in civics-related activities like Youth in Government, Model UN and more,” said Rachel Turner, social studies content lead for Hamilton County Schools. “Part of being future ready means students can apply what they learn in civics to solve real-world problems.”
