We welcome three new teachers to the high school this year.
Libby Dorris joins the high school, where she will teach French. Prior to moving to Nashville, Libby taught middle and high school students in Connecticut. She has a B.A. in modern languages.
Dana Mayfield joins the high school faculty, teaching freshman English and advising the literary magazine staff. However, she is not new to the school: Dana taught in our middle school before the birth of her son, who is now a USN student. Dana has an M.A. in English and teaching experience in middle school through college.
Ben Zeppos '05 joins the high school faculty as a debate coach. A former USN debater himself, Ben will direct the research for this year's competition and teach research skills and strategic goals. Ben has a B.A. in comparative literature, with a focus on Latin, German, and Ancient Greek.
Congratulations to Anisha Nachnani ’32, who turned heads with her project, “Plastic Beneath the Surface: Quantifying the Impact of Soil Microplastics on Early Plant Development.”
Several Middle School students represented USN at the Nashville Perennial Math Competition, and all four teams qualified for the Perennial Math National Championship in May.
USN students participated in the 73rd Youth In Government conference at the Tennessee State Capitol and neighboring buildings in downtown Nashville. Several students brought home awards, and the entire group did a fantastic job representing USN.
USN Mission: University School of Nashville models the best educational practices. In an environment that represents the cultural and ethnic composition of Metropolitan Nashville, USN fosters each student’s intellectual, artistic, and athletic potential, valuing and inspiring integrity, creative expression, a love of learning, and the pursuit of excellence.
