 Four people who hope one day to lead Tennessee spent part of Monday night on stage together, answering questions about education.

William Blount High School hosted a 90 minute forum, sponsored by the "Blount County Initiative." That grassroots group wants to make education the top priority for the community.

Four candidates running for governor took questions on issues, such as prayer in school, teacher pay and home schooling.

Zach Wamp supporter and country star John Rich of "Big and Rich" was on hand to sing a few tunes after the forum, including "Rocky Top" and his big hit "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy."
