• Congratulations to our Green School Committee!!!  We have officially achieved Partner level in the TP3 program. This is the 3rd level with the 4th level being Performer. We won't get the green flag until we are a Performer. Your Green School committee is working hard to make Performer happen soon. In the meantime we do get a white banner and a certificate for being Partner. Jan Crompoton from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is coming on Friday May 23rd to present our school with our banner & certificate. We are going to make an announcement at 2:10 on that day for faculty & students to come to the front lawn. It will be a short presentation that will begin at 2:15. Great effort, University School!!!
