The USN Habitat Club went to North Nashville for the 2023 Habitat Home Build on Sunday, April 16. It was an early morning bus ride to the build site. Starting at 6:30 a.m. and working until 2 p.m., students spent the day building all of the exterior and interior walls of a three-bedroom home for future resident.

Prior to getting to work on constructing the home, the club spent the school year hosting several fundraisers including a 5K run and the annual Homecoming spaghetti supper. After completing these successful projects, along with several others, the Habitat Club is proud to know the over $12,000 raised will go to an exceptional Nashville family.
