Student Life
Traditions
School traditions are an important part of the Currey Ingram K-12 culture. Our traditions provide a sense of belonging, help build community and school spirit and create milestones and give our students something to look forward to throughout the school year. Our traditions include spirit weeks, pep rallies, field days and more. Below are some traditions that are unique to Currey Ingram Academy.
Henderson Houses
Henderson House program, named in honor of Carol and Bobby Henderson, the founders of Westminster School of Nashville, the predecessor school to Currey Ingram Academy.
The purpose of the Henderson House program is to unify our K-12 community and to instill school pride and spirit. Each student, teacher, and staff member is been assigned to one of four houses.
The House System is a long-held tradition at many schools (think Harry Potter). Students across all grade levels participate in a variety of academic, arts, athletic and community-building activities to earn points for their house. Each house will have two faculty/staff members and a student representative from each division to serve as house leaders. The houses will have their own colors, slogan and symbol. At the conclusion of the school year, the house with the most total points will receive the coveted Henderson House Cup, which will be displayed in Jennifer and Billy Frist Hall.
BANDFEST
Celebrated in the fall and in the spring on the quad, Bandfest showcases the musical talents of our Middle School and Upper School students performing in our school rock bands. The entire school as well as parents gather on the quad for an afternoon of music. The rock bands are co-curricular programs in the Middle School and Upper School. Students meet after school with our music teachers. They perform covers as well as original songs. In addition to performing for Bandfest, the rock bands will also perform at local music venues throughout the year.
SPAGHETTI SUPPER
Since our days at Westminster School of Nashville when parents held Spaghetti Suppers to raise funds for theschool, our annual Spaghetti Supper has been a highlight for Lower School families. Held in the fall, the Spaghetti Supper is combined with a Lower School Silent Auction. Families enjoy a meal together and bidding on auction items, many of which are children’s artwork.
