The year 2022 marks the second time in my life that I’ve become a Tiger. The first was years ago as I prepared to begin my college career at Princeton. After a coast-to-coast search and considering a multitude of possible schools, I chose a place that I thought combined the best of many worlds: a place known for its top academics, dynamic campus culture, elite arts and athletics, and people who strive to make one another better.

Learning about cultures and stories other than one’s own builds curiosity and compassion in humans. When people nurture not only self-awareness but the ability to empathize with the stories of others, their contribution to the world around them grows immeasurably.

It has undoubtedly been a year of the tiger, but not just because the Chinese lunar calendar declared 2022 the Year of the Tiger. This year has been full of courage, perseverance, assertiveness, and innate leadership. Emerging from an intense time with Covid restrictions and masks, mandates, and exhaustion from more than two years of having to modify, pivot, and calibrate, the Ensworth Tigers emerged stronger and more present. When choosing the theme for this summer’s Ensights, the serendipitous celebration of the Year of the Tiger was clear.
Grade 1 and 2 students moved through an Interdisciplinary Jazz Unit in the 2021-2022 school year with guidance from Nashville’s new National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM).
Ensworth’s Capstone Program gives students the opportunity to engage in an extensive exploration of a passion or interest that is above and beyond academic courses and extracurricular involvements—though it is often the product of weaving multiple inspirations into one.
From Lower School presentations to High School Harkness tables, Ensworth offers a variety of avenues for students to discover and develop their voices. The new Middle School Podcast Club provides another opportunity for students to share their ideas in a fun and innovative way.
We are excited to announce that these wonderful ladies are serving as the 2022-2023 Tiger Club Chairs, a revived role on the Parent Association Board. This dynamic duo will encourage school spirit, enlist parent support for concessions and ticket sales, and organize Tiger Town Tailgates for various Ensworth sporting events.
At the end of the year faculty meeting, Ensworth honors faculty and staff who celebrate milestones with the school or retire after a long career. This year, we honored Grade 2 Teacher Amy Rich for her 26 years of service.
Students are matched with their college counselor at the beginning of freshman year and stay with the same counselor throughout their high school career. Seven seniors share their experience with the program and how it helped them find the right college fit.
