West Collierville Middle School is one of only 93 schools in Tennessee to earn the Governor's Civics Seal. The State of Tennessee awards the seal if they see schools showing leadership and work with students related to Civics engagement and instructional opportunities. The seal recognizes the importance of civics values and education. Civics education is an essential part of any democracy and equips students with the knowledge and tools to responsibly engage as productive citizens within their communities. Districts and schools can play a meaningful role in the work to support students’ foundational knowledge and preparedness for civic life – all key components of 21st century skills.
 
There are 93 schools and 2 districts that have met the Governor’s Civics Seal criteria for the 2024-25 academic year.
