We are excited to share the newly named spaces in the recently completed Lower School building,
which will be highlighted in this summer’s edition of Ensights.
The Patricia Champion Frist Lobby
The lobby in Founders Hall has been named in honor and memory of Patricia C. Frist, who was instrumental in the establishment and growth of the High School.
The plaque reads, “This lobby is named for Patricia Champion Frist, who was affectionately known as “Pom Pom” to the many who loved her. Her dream was that all students would feel welcomed on this campus and all faculty and staff would feel supported in their efforts to provide a nurturing and inspiring environment.”
Bottorff Terrace
The natatorium terrace, a favorite location for football spectators and swim school families, is now the Bottorff Terrace, named by the Bottorff family.
Turner Quad
The quad, which is the location of many community events at the High School such as the homecoming tailgate and graduation, is now Turner Quad, named by Christi and Jay Turner.
The spirit of a place is evident. If enough people believe in something, it becomes a truth. If enough people believe that truth, it becomes a culture. A culture passed from one generation to the next is a tradition. Everyone came together in support of the vision and In Search of Truth.
Ensworth is committed to providing our students with access to the latest technology and an expert faculty. The new Creative Technology Center at the High School, featuring an engineering-oriented instructional space, a full-service broadcast suite and control center, a dedicated home for the Robotics team and arena, a podcast studio, and a well-equipped digital media and computer science classroom, opened in the fall of this year.
