Summary
Nashville High told the board the ACT summer program produced average gains and individual high scores, the internship program involves 24 students with local employers, and the school pantry serves dozens of households.
Nashville High School leaders reported program outcomes, student supports and campus improvements during the annual report.
Miss Riggs said the high school enrolls 417 students across grades 10'12 and employs 47 staff, including 40 certified teachers. She highlighted campus improvements—painted hallways, remodeled gym areas, an upgraded intercom and new hall-pass system—and said the school maintained full accreditation and continues to offer AP and career-center courses.
On the ACT summer program, Riggs said 82 students attended a five-day program—roughly double last year's participation—and the average composite score rose by 2.58 points. "Five students scored over 27 on their ACT. Two students scored a 29, and one student scored a 34," Riggs said, adding that the 34 qualifies that student for the Governor's Distinguished Scholarship. Riggs named teachers who led the program and identified the program director.
Riggs also described internships and community partnerships: 24 students are enrolled in the fall internship program with multiple local businesses participating. Separately, she said the school-based "scrapper supermarket" currently serves 64 households and 141 students in the district, providing food support on Thursdays.
The high school reported additional supports (home access portals, Google Classroom, communication platforms) and a schedule of upcoming events including cap-and-gown distribution and a career fair.
The presentation closed with thanks to PTO and community partners who helped finance benches and other campus items.
