Created 15 years ago, the Academies of Nashville has been recognized by the White House as a national high school transformation model, and provides students with one of the best college and career prep experiences in the nation. Our journey of transforming high schools are founded on three fundamental concepts:

1. Transform the classroom experience by bringing real-world experience aligned to ca

reers of interest to all classrooms and developing 21st Century life skills that students will use for years to come.

2. Transform the high school experience through a structure of career and interest academies that bring teams of teachers together to collaborate, build relationships, and support individual student needs. Transformation of Business Engagement through the engagement of business and community partners to provide expertise, experiences, and post-secondary experiences.

3. Every student in our twelve zoned Academies of Nashville schools has a choice of 35 different academies. Whether a student is interested in pursuing a career in healthcare or engineering, every academy will enhance the students' high school experience while preparing them with skills applicable to any career field. More than 365 community partners are committed to ensuring students gain exposure and experience within each class. Additionally, local colleges and universities have teamed up with the Academies of Nashville to create access to a range of dual credit, dual enrollment, and industry credentials that will better prepare every student to be college or career-ready.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragic loss. Please continue to follow Metro Nashville Public Schools for information about resources and supports.

Our MNPS community is mourning the loss of two Antioch High School students Wednesday in a tragic shooting. We are thinking of everyone affected by this shocking and unimaginable loss.

Antioch High will be closed Thursday and Friday, January 23 and 24, to give students and staff time to grieve.

MNPS will be using the Southeast Community Center, 5260 Hickory Hollow Parkway, to provide resources and support for staff, students, and families at Antioch High. Grief counseling, hot meals, and food boxes will be provided.
