Athletics adds new coaches
by Josh Scouten, athletics director and Amy Woodson, head of Lower School
Our new faces in Athletics are High School Girls' Varsity Soccer Coach Megan Masuhr and Middle School Coach Lindsay Preston.
There is some exciting news to share on the girls' soccer coaching position: Megan Masuhr has accepted the offer to become our new head of program. Masuhr will be full-time at USN and also has accepted a teaching position in our Physical Education Department. She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and master's degree in teaching elementary education from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey where she was a soccer team captain and All-Conference player. Masuhr is a somewhat familiar face around USN as she has served as a Lower School teaching assistant and After-School worker. She brings a wealth of soccer knowledge to the program as a former high school varsity soccer coach at St. Joseph Hill Academy in Staten Island, New York and also locally at St. Cecilia Academy. She has spent the past 2 1/2 years coaching with Nashville Football Club at the U16 and U11 levels and two years of club coaching with Lower Merion Soccer Club. She joins USN from Happy Feet, a local youth soccer program where she served as program director. We are excited to welcome Megan Masuhr back into the USN community.
Lindsay Preston also has moved back to Nashville from Florida. She brings 10 years of teaching elementary physical education experience and a graduate degree from Western Kentucky University to inform her teaching. Lindsay comes to USN with high recommendations from several Lower School teachers. She’s a leader and an initiator as well as a deep connection maker, and we are so happy to welcome her back to Nashville.
Summer Camps Director Greg Anderson, who has taught PE and coached Middle School boys’ basketball on a part-time basis, is now in the P.E. Department full-time. His background is in corporate finance with a degree from Morehouse College.
Also, Physical Education Teacher, Middle School Swim Team Coach, and High School Baseball Coach Mike Gimblette will chair the Physical Education Department beginning this fall.
