"We recognize the immense need to make certain the torch of freedom is passed from this generation to the next and are excited to announce our partnership with The 917 Society to accomplish this ambitious task.”

~JC Bowman, Executive Director

The 917 Society has a mission to impress upon students the relevance and practicality gained through an understanding of the U.S. Constitution and provides 8^th graders across Tennessee a copy of the U.S. Constitution. “We are excited to be able to provide this program to our Tennessee teachers,” according to Joni Bryan executive director of The 917 Society.

Constitution Day is mandated through Public Law 108-447 in Tennessee. 

The 917 Society website also has a resource page for lesson plans that are free from different sources, and any of the videos from their sponsors can be used freely. They are developing new films, a phone App and other resource and are seeking volunteers for a teacher advisory board to help with the development if interested.
