Since 1922 with little publicity or fanfare, Bible in the Schools has made the study of the Bible available to public school students in the Chattanooga area.

The Hamilton County public school system offers five elective courses in Bible history. Courses are taught only in schools where principals request them, and all classes strictly follow federal court rulings and guidelines. Typically, the classes are electives in the Social Studies curriculum.

This past school year, nineteen middle and high schools offered the elective courses to more than 4,800 students, who were taught by sixteen qualified and certified teachers. more > >
