TAPstravaganza 2024 was a black-tie affair.
TAPstravaganza was an evening to remember. Thank you to all the faculty, students, administration, staff, parents, and volunteers who made TAPstravaganza possible. We at TAP (that’s Tiger Arts Patrons, the USN equivalent of a booster club for visual and performing arts) are so happy to have been a part of this year’s TAPstravaganza celebration. The arts impact so many of us throughout our school community, and we are proud to celebrate them.

Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled
Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.Read More
