UNISON Dance and the University School of Nashville Choir will come together to present "Threads" and "On Music Row" for our spring semester performances at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 25, in Durnan Auditorium.
We invite you to delve into the intricate world of our interwoven connections. Through the artistry of movement and music, Middle School and High School dancers will unravel the stories and emotions that bind us together in their performance, "Threads."
Then, the USN Choir will celebrate the incredible music often shared right here in Nashville with their performance “On Music Row.” Including classic country tunes and modern hits, the USN Choir promises to pay homage to the rich music history of Music City. We hope you will enjoy us for this exciting evening where dance and song come together in perfect harmony.

Winged Deer Park and trails in Johnson City hosted our 4th race on Sunday October 11th, and despite a bit of hurricane outwash winds and showers - and reduced team numbers due to fall break and distance from Nashville - our racers utilized all available skills and speed which helped “wing" Sophomore Claire Dehner to a 4th place podium spot, our first podium appearance and medal for the season.
Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
