Participants praise Leadership CMCSS program, highlight STEAM classes and TCAT career opportunities
Summary
Participants in a Leadership CMCSS session in Clarksville commended the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System for its educators and student-focused programs, spotlighting a magnet STEAM school’s inclusive project-based learning and TCAT’s hands-on career training; speakers urged residents to apply to the program.
Participants at a Leadership CMCSS session in Clarksville praised the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System and urged community members to apply to learn more about its programs.
The most pointed endorsements came from three participants who singled out different strengths: one said the experience underscored “how much pride this community takes in its students,” another highlighted the magnet STEAM school’s project-based, synchronous learning that extends into CDC special-needs classrooms, and a third described TCAT as an option for students to leave their home high school and enroll in hands-on technical programs that provide a head start toward a career.
Those remarks matter because they show how community-facing programming and partnerships are being used to promote both academic and technical pathways for students. Participant 2 praised the STEAM magnet’s consistent, project-based approach across every class and noted its application in special-needs settings; Participant 3 emphasized TCAT’s role in offering practical career-focused training outside the traditional high school schedule. Participant 2 also encouraged listeners to apply to the Leadership CMCSS program, saying applicants will see students, teachers, counselors, administrators and central office personnel all working toward a shared goal.
Direct quotes from the session capture the tone of the event. Participant 1 said, “Biggest takeaway for me with Leadership CMCSS … is how much pride this community takes in in its students,” and later called the program “fantastic.” Participant 2 said, “what really stood out… I’m in the disability space, and to see… project based STEAM learning… also in your special needs, your CDC classrooms as well.” Participant 3 described TCAT as “such a great opportunity where students can make the decision to leave their home high school and actually enroll… to gain those hands on experiences.”
The session included no formal votes or policy decisions. Instead, participants used their time to describe program features and to recommend that community members apply to Leadership CMCSS to better understand school programs and potential partnership opportunities.
Speakers closed by thanking the program’s organizers; Participant 1 said the program had filled them with pride and expressed gratitude to the foundation that organized the session.
