Four county schools receive TVA grants for STEM classrooms

The Tennessee Valley Authority, in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers Inc., a TVA retiree organization, is awarding $1 million in grants to educators in public schools to develop science, technology, engineering, and math education projects across the Tennessee Valley.

Those schools are Anderson County Career and Technical Center, Anderson County High School, Clinton High School and Norwood Elementary School.

The competitive STEM classroom grant program is operated in partnership with the Tennessee STEM Innovation Network managed by the Battelle organization. The program received 336 grant applications this year, and 233 were selected for funding.

More than 106,000 students across the Valley will be directly affected by the program.
