Recently, Senior Awards Night at McGavock High School was held to showcase academic and student excellence among a variety of disciplines. 91 seniors received McGavock Covenant Student Scholarships, which are $500 scholarships given to graduating seniors with a 3.0 GPA, 21 ACT, and 8 hours of community service. This is the only scholarship of its kind in Nashville and the surrounding area that is funded by the community for a local public high school. Awards were also presented to fine arts students (band, orchestra, theater, dance), cheer and student athletes. Also, a McGavock student was recognized for being the highest rated Cambridge student in the entire state of Tennessee.
Metro Nashville Public Schools joins the Nashville Public Education Foundation and Nashville’s Agenda Steering Committee in celebrating this year’s selection of Blue Ribbon Teachers. In its fifth year, the Blue Ribbon Teacher program aims to recognize top teaching talent in our schools.
