KNOXVILLE — 13 students successfully completed their course at The Tennessee Governor's Academy for Math and Science and are finally allowed to call themselves High School Graduates.
These students are not just any high school graduates. They self-selected to be the inaugural class at TGA and to dedicate the last two years of their high school careers to a life of academic rigor and scientific research. The path to graduation was no easy task, but these students met the challenge and succeeded.
The TGA graduates will be going on to a variety of colleges and universities. From Stanford and Cal Tech to Williams and UTK, TGA's first graduating class will spread themselves out across the country, but two things can be guaranteed: they will major in math and science related fields and they will surely succeed!
