FOR THE RECORD

Singing Praises

This year, we had eight High School singers audition for the regional honor choirs organized by the Middle TN Vocal Association. All eight of those singers were selected from among hundreds of auditionees for the Mid-State and Freshman Honor Choirs - the most ever chosen for these ensembles in Ensworth history! Each year, the very best singers from Middle TN are selected to participate, and this year, the students will get to participate in a virtual choir project which will be released in the spring.

Mid-State Members: Brooks Bradbury-Fawns ’21, Grace Heinrichs ’23, Claire Humphrey ’21, Caroline Humphrey ’21 Freshman Honor Choir Members: Gracie Lane, Henry Leschen, Julia Moore, Gennie Philpott

Orange & Black Captains

Lower and Middle School students cast their votes and chose Grace Thompson and Rush Buntin as Orange Team Captains, and Mimi Bowen and Sam Haley as Black Team Captains for the 2020-2021 school year.

Eagle Scout Honors

Congratulations to Clark Akers ’21 on his Eagle Scout Court of Honor Ceremony in November. Courts of honor are fully developed celebrations recognizing Scouts who have attained Scouting’s highest rank. They often feature a variety of special ceremonies commensurate with the high honor being bestowed upon outstanding young men.

Ensworth is proud to announce that six members of the Class of 2021 have been named National Merit Semifinalists: Brooks Bradbury-Fawns, Jacqueline Frist, Nell Harris, Claire Humphrey, Anna Lapre, and Noah Lucy.
