Governor's School for the Scientific Exploration of Tennessee Heritage

The Governor's Schools, a division of the Tennessee State Department of Education, offer opportunities for challenging work in several specialized areas of study not available in the standard high-school curriculum or college summer courses.  This ETSU Governor's School, in its twenty-second year of operation, was reshaped in 2005 to become the Governor's School for the Scientific Exploration of Tennessee Heritage.  It focuses on Tennessee history, environmental studies, historic preservation, archaeology, and paleontology. 

Over five weeks, students engage in research, fieldwork, and hands-on service projects.

This year, the program runs from Sunday May 31st to July 3rd.
