University School of Nashville's collective giving effort raised over $300,000 from nearly 800 donors providing a big boost to the Annual Fund. And, when 400 gifts were made, donors unlocked a special celebratory day for students schoolwide — Friday, March 24 will be Dress Like A Superhero Day. View photos from the exciting day on Edgehill here.

When a streak of Tigers come together, anything is possible. We proved that on Wednesday, March 1, when nearly 800 members of the USN community contributed over $300,000 for the Annual Fund during the Tiger Give Back Challenge. Thank you to the dozens of parent, alumni, faculty, and grandparent volunteers who made our collective day a huge success. And to the hundreds of donors, we are grateful for the investment you made in the people and programs at University School of Nashville.
Students, faculty, and staff are invited to celebrate during Dress Like A Superhero Day. Teachers, nurses, doctors, elected officials, postal employees, sanitation collectors, first responders or Wonder Woman, Superman, Black Panther, Supergirl, Captain America, Batman, Spider Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — our students can dress as any person they identify as a superhero on Friday, March 24.
The Quiz Bowl team won second place in the South Warren Spartan Open tournament, qualifying the team for the 2026 High School National Championship tournament. Congratulations to Basil Broemel '28 and Jasmine Horwitz '26 for placing seventh and ninth, respectively.
Students and faculty have resumed composting at USN. Through collaboration, persistence, and student leadership across all divisions, the program has already gotten off to a great start.
Should snow or ice alter the school day, expect to receive a USN Alert by 5 a.m. This information will also be posted on the usn.org homepage and the school's official social media accounts, as well as shared with local broadcast stations. Be sure your wireless number is listed correctly in the usn.org directory to receive USN Alerts. Also, share your snow day fun by emailing socialmedia@usn.org or using #USNsnowday; we especially appreciate photos of the USN community wearing school gear.
