University School of Nashville
University School of Nashville is a private K-12 school located in Nashville, Tennessee.
==History==
Referred to colloquially as USN, the school was founded in 1888 by the Peabody Board of Trustees.〔(The USN website's history page )〕 The school was first founded as Winthrop Model School; in 1915, it became Peabody Demonstration School (PDS), a part of Peabody College intended to demonstrate the operation of a school. The school was founded by Dr. Richard Thomas Alexander.〔George W. Lucero (2012). ''Begin with the Child, the Story of New College'', Unpublished manuscript, Illinois State University, Normal, IL.〕 While it was Peabody Demonstration School, it became the second high school in Nashville to be desegregated, following Father Ryan High School, and the first one to be fully desegregated, meaning that extra-curricular activities were desegregated in addition to academics. The demonstration school was closed in 1974, several years before Peabody merged with next-door Vanderbilt University. The students' parents bought the school; by a student vote, the school was established as University School of Nashville.
The school is now one of the most prestigious independent schools in the Nashville, Tennessee area. Historically, along with and alternating with Montgomery Bell Academy, USN has more students recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program than any other Nashville high school. In the Class of 2011, with 91 students, there were 12 semifinalists and 13 commended students recognized by the program. In 2010, both Presidential Scholars for Tennessee were USN students. USN also produced a Presidential Scholar in 2012.
