What is the Tennessee Scholars Initiative?

The purpose of the State Scholars Initiative (SSI) is to increase the percentage of students graduating from high school with a rigorous, defined academic course of study sufficient to prepare them for higher education, the workforce, or the military. This purpose is advanced by having local business leaders enter high school classrooms before students select classes and present the students with information on the importance of completing a rigorous, defined course of study. It is institutionalized by the collection and dissemination of data showing increases in the percentage of students completing the Scholars course of study, documenting the success of these students in their life beyond high school, and aligning incentives at the school, district, and state level that encourage students to choose to complete this course of study.
