Tusculum University Educational Talent Search

Two days of learning, exploring, and fun for our Talent Search high school students during our Summer Seminar!

Our participants had the opportunity to experience college life and explore future career pathways through visits to the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture and Tennessee Tech University, where students learned about a variety of academic programs, including exciting opportunities in engineering, agriculture, and other high-demand fields.

The adventure continued with educational visits to the Nashville Zoo, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, where students discovered the fascinating process of creating lifelike wax figures, and the Country Music Hall of Fame, where they explored the rich history and cultural impact of country music.

Throughout the trip, students gained valuable knowledge, experienced new environments, and created lasting memories with their peers. We are proud of their enthusiasm, curiosity, and willingness to step outside their comfort zones as they explored college, career, and cultural opportunities.

Talent Search 7th graders had an awesome day at the Clyde-Austin 4-H Center canoeing, mastering archery, and making rockets.

These 8th grade students are now “Future Ready” after spending the day learning about what to expect in high school and various life skills such as how to do laundry, basic cooking, etiquette, and communications skills.

So proud of our Talent Search high school students from WGHS and SGHS for volunteering at the 2026 Greeneville Volunteer Spirit Ceremony. Their willingness to serve their community does not go unnoticed. Thanks for your time and for making a difference.

Tusculum Talent Search students from West Greene High School explore careers in downtown Greeneville. Students met with Captain Gass and Chief Spano of the Greeneville Police Dept. As well as Mayor Cal Doty at Town Hall. They enjoyed a presentation at the Greeneville Energy Authority about careers in public utilities, toured Walters State Community College, followed by a stop at the Greeneville Library. The students visited one of downtown’s oldest and most beloved establishments, Tipton's Cafe. There, they enjoyed the cafe's famous fried honey buns and biscuits w/ gravy. Thank you, Michelle and staff, for the delicious treat and hospitality. The final stop was a Lindamood Financial Group. Thank you to Roger and Gin for sharing expertise and advice about the importance of financial planning
This hands-on experience gave students a meaningful look at a wide range of careers and educational opportunities in their own community.

The artwork of these Talent Search students is on display this weekend in the art show being held at General Morgan Inn. Great job Myesha, & Allena (SGHS) and Isiah (WGHS).
