General Background

Referred to as USN, it was founded in 1892 first as Winthrop Model School and later as Peabody Demonstration School, a part of Peabody College intended to demonstrate the operation of a school. While it was Peabody Demonstration School, it became one of the first high schools in Nashville to be desegregated (after Father Ryan High School). The demonstration school was closed in 1974 when Peabody merged with Vanderbilt University. The students' parents bought the school, and established University School of Nashville. A small school, it has an enrollment of approximately 1000 students. The tuition is $14,000 a year. Famous alumni include Stanford Moore, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry; Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert K. Massie; pianist Gabe Dixon; musician Shooter Jennings; former WNBA player and current coach Jenny Boucek; and Rhodes scholar Ben Lundin, among others. 1892 (MDCCCXCII) was a leap year starting on Friday (see link for calendar). ...
