Central Magnet Student to Speak at TEDxYouth@JeffersonStreet in Nashville

Madison Harbour to share her story of leadership and innovation on November 16

Central Magnet School junior Madison Harbour will be among the featured presenters at TEDxYouth@JeffersonStreet on Sunday, November 16, at The Cal Turner Family Center at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee.

Harbour will share her insights on the meaning of true art and how its imperfections, our struggles, scars and stories, give music its soul. Her message challenges audiences to consider how, as machines become more capable, we risk losing the human pulse that makes art authentic and meaningful. Her talk is part of the event’s 2025 theme, STEAM with a Twist.

“Being part of TEDxYouth@JeffersonStreet is such an incredible opportunity to inspire others to see that leadership and creativity go hand in hand,” Harbour said. “I want young people, especially girls interested in STEM, to know that they belong in every room where ideas are being created.”

Harbour currently serves as an Ambassador for Potentia360, a nonprofit organization empowering high school girls in technology, and she co-founded the Potentia360@CMS chapter at Central Magnet. She is also Curriculum Lead for the Society of Women Engineers and Co-Founder and President of the Central Magnet Podcast Club, where she helps amplify student voices through storytelling and media.

A talented musician, Harbour earned a spot in the 2026 All-State Choir and is an active member of both the Tri-Music Honor Society and the CMS Show Choir. She hopes to combine her passions for technology and creativity as she pursues a career in computer engineering.

Event Details: Sunday, November 16, 2025
11 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Doors Open: 10:30 a.m.
The Cal Turner Family Center at Meharry Medical College | 1011 21st Ave N, Nashville, TN

National History Day® (NHD) is proud to announce the teachers honored as the 2025 National History Day Teacher of the Year Award nominees. This year, teachers from all NHD affiliate programs were able to self-nominate for the award. Following the self-nomination process, NHD staff worked with local program staff to select up to one middle school teacher and one high school teacher to represent each affiliate for this prestigious award. In addition to celebrating outstanding history scholarship and innovative classroom instruction, the 2025 Teachers of the Year will receive a $5,000 cash prize.

Each nominee for the National History Day Teacher of the Year Award is a teacher who demonstrates a commitment to engaging students in historical learning through the innovative use of primary sources, implementation of active learning strategies to foster historical thinking skills, and participation in the National History Day Contest. 71 educators are up for the award this year.

“National History Day’s 2025 Teacher of the Year Award nominees are outstanding history educators,” said NHD Executive Director Dr. Cathy Gorn. “At a time when history education programs are facing funding cuts and increased scrutiny, these teachers are in the trenches, teaching students about important historical events and engaging them with primary sources from local libraries and archives. I couldn’t be more proud of this year’s nominees.”

One national winner in the junior division and one national winner in the senior division will be selected by a committee of experienced teachers and historians and announced on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at the National History Day National Contest Awards Ceremony in College Park, Maryland. The Awards Ceremony will begin around 9 a.m. and will be live-streamed at https://t.co/hjXHXxnIZh.
