 Cheatham County Schools launched a new program this school year called Innovative Scholars to help supplement the academic offerings for the scholastically gifted students, including the first summer STEAM Institute, held last month for students entering grades 3 through 8. STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. CCS Communication Director and grant writer Tim Adkins says students' eligibility for the program was based on recommendation from their schools and standardized test scores.
