School Safety

For Students & Alumni

You are not alone. All students deserve to feel safe and supported by the school and their peers when reporting misconduct. To make such a report, or to support a friend who wishes to report, students should contact any trusted adult at USN. USN has four in-house counselors to support students on a daily basis:

There are several resources available to students seeking help.
  • Students in Grades 5-8 have access to the Counseling Group Page, offering support services, parent education workshops, and session scheduling for students and parents. Students also have access to resources through the Student Mental Health Coalition.
  • The Nashville community also offers several local resources that are separate from the school but still available to all community members:
    • National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN): 800-656-4673 (please note that this is often not the best in times of crisis due to a long waiting time)
    • RAINN Chat Service
    • National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE)
    • Childhelp USA National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-422-4453
    • Trans Lifeline: 877-565-8860
