Friends, neighbors, community: all of these elements come together on October 9 when we continue conversations about the past, present, and future of Edgehill.
Friends, neighbors, community: all of these elements come together on October 9 when we continue conversations about the past, present, and future of Edgehill.
We invite neighbors from both here in the halls and along the avenue to join us for a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience to hear about our surrounding neighborhood’s history from those who helped make it:
• Reverend Bill Barnes: Founding pastor of Edgehill United Methodist Church, enduring advocate for fellow members of the Edgehill Community, and author of To Love a City.
• Nancy Crutcher: Edgehill native, director of Edgehill Brighter Days program, and passionate community leader.
• King Hollands: Chair of Organized Neighbors of Edgehill, civil rights activist, and the first African-American student to attend Father Ryan High School.
• Betty Nixon: Former Metro councilwoman, previous Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Community, Neighborhood and Government Relations at Vanderbilt University, and spokeswoman for the Edgehill community.
Together on Edgehill will be held in the USN Auditorium on Thursday, the 9th of October from 5:00 to 6:30 pm.

Our long-term goal is forming, building, and strengthening relationships together on Edgehill in order to learn from some of the most knowledgeable and influential members in the community.
About a year ago, a group of fifteen high school students turned what began as a one-time service project to commemorate USN’s Centennial year into an endeavor which we hope will continue into the next Centennial. Last fall, the high school’s Community Service Club was asked by the administration to design and carry out a large-scale community service project in honor of our Centennial year. The club realized quickly that a separate committee would be necessary to complete the task.
Over the next several months, after many lunch meetings and a Lunch-and-Learn session with Edgehill leaders, the students of the committee, which they had dubbed the Centennial Initiative, decided that a once-and-done project wasn’t going to cut it. We students realized that it was high time that our school become even more involved in the community, but as we move forward, we encourage everyone to join us on this journey to further explore and connect with our community.
