CMCSS Schools and Programs of Choice:

Moore Magnet Elementary STEM School
STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, and math, is embedded kindergarten through 5th grade at Moore. Students apply the knowledge they gain across the curriculum to solve challenges aligned with real-world problems tied to local community issues. Moore was one of the first schools in the state to receive the prestigious Tennessee STEM School Designation. Additionally, Moore was the first Montgomery County Green Certified School.

Barksdale Elementary Spanish Immersion Option
College and career academies are schools within a school, aligned to a specific career theme. They are college and career preparatory small learning communities in which a select group of students focuses their core class experience around a common career interest. Students share many of the same teachers, allowing educators to collaborate with each other in the coordination of lesson planning and classroom activities that align with the academy theme. Incoming high school freshmen will have the opportunity to apply to eight different college and career academies across the district. Rising sophomores interested in joining an Academy should talk with their school counselor.

This program enables junior and senior high school students to complete a high school education while receiving direct and invaluable access to free college courses at the same time. Through grants and scholarships, Middle College students are not required to pay tuition nor do they incur the expense of college textbooks.

Early Technical College at Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT)
The Early Technical College at TCAT is a unique, hands-on learning experience that allows students a no-cost opportunity to work towards an industry certification while also completing the necessary high school courses for graduation in the state of TN. Students can choose one option from four pathways, earning up to two certifications for the chosen pathway. Students who qualify can use funding from TNPromise to complete TCAT diplomas following HS graduation.

Nashville State Community College (NSCC) Pathway: Logistics
The NSCC Pathway provides opportunities for juniors and seniors in high school to earn certifications in a college pathway while still attending a traditional CMCSS high school. Students will attend NSCC pathway classes on the campus of CHS or NWHS from 7:30-8:25 and then, attend core classes at their zoned high school for the remainder of the school day.
