STRATEGIC VISION
Earlier this fall, we released our new five-year strategic vision, a pivotal step in our journey to empower our students to lead and shape the future. This plan is the culmination of an extensive process of gathering valuable feedback from our entire school community through a series of surveys, focus groups, and board retreats.

FOR THE LOVE OF
learning & literacy
From Grade 1 book clubs to Grade 5 genre studies, Ensworth Lower School students enjoy many opportunities to read and listen to stories every day. Beginning in Kindergarten, our teachers utilize the curriculum, resources, and other tools required to effectively teach our students to read. One of the newest resources available to teachers is the Lower School Resource Library.
This cozy and colorful room is full of books, educational games, and reading-related activities designed for the Resource Library. This space provides teachers with everything they need to implement the curriculum and allows them to focus on what matters most—ensuring reading success for all students.
Located in the Lower School building, the Lower School Resource Library serves as a physical space for teachers to enhance the literacy curriculum.
In Grades K-2, the foundation of Ensworth's literacy curriculum is a systematic and explicit approach to teaching young students how to read.
"The new Resource Library has proven invaluable for our kindergarten, first, and second-grade classrooms," said Grade 2 teacher Abbie Cowden. "It offers a convenient and efficient way to select engaging and age-appropriate books that cater to the diverse interests of our students."
The Resource Library was designed by reading specialists Liz Atwood and Camy Sanchez. When deciding what to include in the room, Atwood and Sanchez knew they wanted teachers to have access to a variety of materials
Using the latest research on the science of reading, Ensworth teachers focus on teaching students to “crack the code” using a combination of the Institute for Multi Sensory Education’s (IMSE) Orton-Gillingham-based phonics program, Heggerty phonemic awareness, decodable readers, and a multisensory approach to reading acquisition.
for classroom use so they feel supported. The Resource Library is the new home for instructional resources, book club novels, and anchor texts that support reading comprehension.
"When leadership approached Camy and me about building a Resource Library for our colleagues, we started planning and dreaming almost immediately," Atwood said. "We are both passionate about offering our faculty and students the most impactful support. We spent over two weeks last summer envisioning the best ways to create a physical space to support learning, share ideas and knowledge, and provide a dedicated area for collaboration."
Before the Resource Library was created, teachers gathered and developed their own support materials. Now, teachers can use the Resource Library to grab a basket of manipulatives, books, or activities specifically designed for each grade level and reading lesson.
"The library is laid out to follow the scope and sequence of the Institute for Multi Sensory Education’s (IMSE) reading curriculum, making it very user-friendly," Grade 1 teacher Katie Peck said. "Every week, we teach a new concept, and it’s wonderful having the resources and materials available to teach the concept and support the weekly learning targets."
The room will continue to serve as a resource for teachers to use as students progress through their reading journey.
"We look forward to continuing to grow and enhance the library as the Lower School literacy program continues to evolve," Atwood said. "Providing a wealth of resources, best practice strategies, and latest literature gives our teachers more time to engage with students and provides consistency across our curriculum." ■
We are grateful to the families who generously funded the creation of the Resource Library. The philanthropic support of our school community enables our teachers to deliver an exceptional and distinctive educational experience to each and every one of our students.
For over 30 years, IMSE has provided science-based, teacher-driven literacy instruction in the classroom. A structured literacy model helps all children learn to read; not just those who are struggling. Ensworth’s literacy program gives teachers the knowledge and skills to make all children effective readers, writers, and spellers.
Ensworth’s innovative approach to literacy combines a strong research-based foundation along with a joy of reading.
ABOUT IMSE
GRADE 8 LEADERSHIP
STEPPING UP AND LEADING THE WAY
WRITTEN BY BROOKS CORZINE, ELLEN IVES, AND DOUG MAGEE Middle School Administration
As students enter Grade 8 at Ensworth, they find themselves at the pinnacle of their Middle School and Red Gables journey. These students exude a warm confidence built over years of growth and learning and are ready to embrace leadership opportunities that nurture their abilities and inspire meaningful impact.
Ensworth’s approach to leadership provides countless “at-bats”—opportunities to practice leading in various settings, from the classroom to the broader community. Whether spearheading an initiative or supporting peers, every student has the chance to discover and define their unique leadership style.
BECOMING LEADERS AT RED GABLES
Grade 8 at Ensworth is more than just a stepping stone to high school—it’s a transformative year. Students graduate with a clear understanding of how to serve, inspire, and lead with purpose. As they transition to high school, they carry with them the confidence and authenticity cultivated at Red Gables.
At Ensworth, leadership is about more than titles. It’s about action, growth, and making a difference. For every Grade 8 student, the opportunities are endless, and the lessons they learn will last a lifetime.
“I
LOVE HOW ROLES LIKE STUDENT COUNCIL AND BLACK AND ORANGE CAPTAINS GIVE US A GLIMPSE OF DEMOCRACY. WE GET TO HAVE A SAY IN WHO LEADS US, JUST LIKE IN THE REAL WORLD WHEN WE ELECT PRESIDENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE, AS A COMMUNITY, LOOK UP TO, AND WE CHOOSE THEM BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THEY’LL DO THE BEST JOB. IT’S A GREAT WAY TO PREPARE US FOR HOW LEADERSHIP WORKS BEYOND SCHOOL.”
SOPHIE WARD, CLASS OF 2029
WHAT DOES LEADERSHIP LOOK LIKE IN GRADE 8?
Leadership at Ensworth is anchored in three pillars: classroom leadership, opportunities on Red Gables campus, and service in the broader community. Together, these pillars create a comprehensive program that fosters independence, initiative, and empathy.
Classroom Leadership Red Gables Leadership Community Leadership
Leadership begins in the classroom. Harkness discussions, a hallmark of Ensworth’s learning approach, begin to occur more frequently in Grade 8, providing a platform for students to lead by asking thoughtful questions, facilitating dialogue, and ensuring all voices are heard. The Grade 8 Presidential Debates allow students to step into the roles of candidates by engaging in lively discussions about leadership and decisionmaking. Finally, in Research, Writing, and Public Speaking, students deliver a Leadership & Civic Engagement speech, focusing on issues that matter to them and honing their public speaking skills.
On campus, students serve as Student Council leaders, Black & Orange captains rallying school spirit, or hosts of the beloved Pancake Breakfast. They also connect with younger peers as K–8 buddies and lunch table hosts, creating a supportive and inclusive community.
Students step into public roles as admissions ambassadors and panelists, sharing their experiences with prospective families. Through Service Learning, they engage in meaningful projects across Nashville, making a difference in the broader community. The Grade 8 trip to Washington DC deepens their understanding of civic responsibility and national history.
“BEING A K-8 BUDDY IS SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW EIGHTH GRADERS STEP INTO LEADERSHIP. AT FIRST, WE DON’T KNOW THE KINDERGARTNERS WE’RE PAIRED WITH, BUT TO THEM, WE’RE THE BIG KIDS—THE ONES THEY LOOK UP TO. IT’S REALLY SPECIAL THAT WE GET TO TEACH THEM THINGS, WATCH OVER THEM, AND SHARE FUN EXPERIENCES, LIKE THE FIRST GRADE PET SHOW, HALLOWEEN, OR HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES. IT REMINDS US HOW IMPORTANT WE ARE TO THE YOUNGER GRADES AND HOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES.”
DREW HEATH, CLASS OF 2029
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
Sophie Ward described the responsibility of being a lunch table host: “Each week, two of us host a new group of Grades 6–8 students, which means we have to get to know everyone and figure out how to connect with each kid. It’s a great way to build communication skills because everyone has different views and interacts in their own way. I even created a weekly schedule with games and activities to help the group start talking. It’s a fun way to plan, lead, and make sure everyone feels included.”
Leadership at Ensworth isn’t reserved for a select few; every Grade 8 student has the opportunity to lead. Each role is designed to align with students’ passions and strengths, allowing them to develop collaboration, communication, and decision-making skills in ways that feel authentic. ■
ENSWORTH'S FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE COUNSELING PROGRAM
COLLEGE COUNSELING
Can you describe the college counseling program at Ensworth? How is it structured?
Lizzie McWilliams ’25: "From day one of freshman year at Ensworth, every student is paired with one of four college counselors. Throughout your high school years, you work closely with your college counselor to make the best college decisions once the time comes. Our college counselors do an amazing job reaching out and getting to know you from the beginning, creating relationships that are uncommon at other Nashville schools."
Hudson Honeybone ’26: "Each year of the 4-year college counseling plan has an intentionally distinct feel. My college counselor, Dr. Phillips, encouraged me to focus on being a student freshman year. During my sophomore year, Dr. Phillips emphasized that same academic focus, but also guided me towards extracurricular programs that would both bolster my resume and narrow down my desired field of study. He stressed the importance of building relationships with teachers and staff to enhance my school experience and open doors in the future."
How
often do you meet with your college counselor? How have your meetings changed from freshman year to junior/senior
Lilia Spaventa ’25: "During my freshman and sophomore year, I met with my college counselor to discuss my classes for the next year and to initiate a college conversation. In addition, there were other grade-wide and parent meetings to expose us to the college admissions process in a less intimidating way. Junior year, I met with my counselor several times throughout the year, and my parents were more involved in the process through parent meetings.
I remember a meeting with my counselor and parents at the beginning of junior year, where Mr. Whitehill created a list of potential colleges he thought would fit me, where they were located, how hard they were to get into, and potential scholarship opportunities. This meeting jump-started the college process, and the list allowed my family to plan our college visit trips and narrow down the search. So far this year, I have met with my college counselor many times and for many reasons, no matter how big or small the question. I know his door is always open, and I am very comfortable talking to my counselor about anything college-related."
year?
Brian Tierney ’25: "My meetings with my college counselor tend to come in waves, where I will feel like I am talking to them every day some weeks, and then sporadically the next. Even if I am not meeting with my counselor in person, she still emails me frequently to check in on my progress and help me prioritize my work based on upcoming deadlines. I have met with my counselor even more as a senior, and the meetings evolved from schedule-planning meetings to meetings dedicated to reviewing applications, planning deadlines, and practicing for interviews.."
"Our college counselors do an amazing job reaching out and getting to know you from the beginning, creating relationships that are uncommon at other Nashville schools." Lizzie McWilliams ’25
What do you like about the four-year college counseling program? How has that helped you academically and during the college search process?
Lilia Spaventa ’25: "I like how Ensworth’s four-year college counseling program allows students to build a relationship with their college counselor before the college application process starts. Going into the process, I felt confident that my college counselor knew me well enough to give me options that would fit each of my individual needs when finding the right school for me. Academically, my college counselor has recommended classes that fit my interests and offered in-depth research into the universities he thinks will best fit my academic strengths."
Brian Tierney ’25: "Overall, the four-year college counseling program has helped keep me organized and prepared for my future at Ensworth and beyond. By assisting with various tasks, such as course selection and graduation requirements, my counselor has allowed me to make it through high school without worrying about my schedule or meeting requirements. They have recommended
courses and helped me manage my time. Throughout the college search process, my counselor has been very involved, assisting me constantly during stressful times. My counselor has helped me narrow my application list while keeping it balanced. Ensworth’s college counseling program genuinely wants to help students succeed."
"Academically, my college counselor has recommended classes that fit my interests and offered in-depth research into the universities he thinks will best fit my academic strengths."
Lilia Spaventa ’25
THE FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE COUNSELING MODEL »
YEAR 1
GRADE 9
During freshman year, the college counseling team guides students on both academic and extracurricular matters, including Capstone proposals, NCAA eligibility requirements, auditions or portfolio submissions for visual and performing arts programs, summer program opportunities, and helping students select a course schedule that aligns with their individual goals and aspirations.
YEAR 2
GRADE 10
During sophomore year, students meet individually with their college counselor to discuss course selection, summer opportunities, and their academic and personal growth. The college counseling team continues to provide academic support, guidance on extracurricular matters, and helps students design their schedules for the next two years.
Do you know what you want to major in yet? Have any Ensworth classes, extracurricular activities, or trips helped shape your decision to choose that major?
Lilia Spaventa ’25: "Currently, I want to major in either political science or government and politics on the pre-law track. AP Government with Mrs. Hubert solidified my interest in law and the government and pushed me towards wanting to major in that field. I also plan to minor in French, as I have taken four years of French at Ensworth. For my senior year, I am taking French 5 to prepare for my French minor, and Dr. Todd has supported me throughout my four years of French at Ensworth."
Mya Jones ’26: "I will be majoring in public policy with a minor in international relations. This decision was made after attending Georgetown’s Summer Program in the summer of 2023 and Boston University’s Summer Challenge Program in the summer of 2024. Both programs were recommended by Mrs. Stewart with her knowledge of my interests, preference towards urban colleges, and campus types. These programs challenged my way of thinking and framed my future. I have been able to continue my interest by taking AP
YEAR 3 GRADE 11
During junior year, students' journey toward college becomes more defined. Starting in September, students continue their individual meetings with their college counselors. Students also benefit from multiple on-campus college fairs featuring representatives from over 100 colleges, as well as guest speakers from college admissions offices.
Government, participating in Model UN, and leading both the Environmental Club and the Common Ground Club at Ensworth."
PARENT INVOLVEMENT
From yearly class parent meetings to individualized meetings with college counselors, Ensworth parents are encouraged to be included in the college counseling process.
YEAR 4
GRADE 12
During senior year, students continue to work one-on-one with their college counselor to schedule college visits, finalize a list of college applications, write essays and personal statements, manage approaching deadlines, navigate the complexities of application and financial aid procedures, prepare for college interviews, and ultimately, choose a college.
CLUBS & ENRICHMENTS
EDUCATING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM »
WRITTEN BY OREN GOLDRING, Director of Auxiliary Programs
Extracurricular activities are a vital part of a well-rounded education at Ensworth. They provide students with opportunities to grow beyond the classroom, helping to shape their social skills, emotional resilience, and sense of community. Moreover, these activities encourage students to explore new interests, develop lifelong skills, and foster a love of learning.
At Ensworth, we offer a diverse range of activities for Lower and Middle School students—including Model UN, fishing club, Lego robotics, chess, knitting, guitar, pickleball, sports broadcasting, and more. Each activity contributes uniquely to the holistic development of our students and plays a crucial role in social and emotional development.
By participating in clubs and sports, students interact with peers who share similar interests, which builds friendships and essential interpersonal skills. Activities such as Model UN and chess club encourage teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. Students also learn how to navigate challenges and setbacks in a supportive environment. For instance, losing a game of pickleball or tackling a complex coding project in Lego robotics teaches resilience and perseverance. These experiences help students build emotional intelligence, equipping them with tools to manage stress and develop a growth mindset.
Another valuable aspect of extracurricular activities at Ensworth is their ability to foster a sense of belonging When students join clubs such as the knitting club or learn to play an instrument like the guitar, they become part of a community that values collaboration and mutual support. This sense of belonging is particularly important during formative years and helps students feel connected and valued. Extracurricular activities at Ensworth also provide students with opportunities to explore new interests and step out of their comfort zones. For some, joining the fishing club might ignite a lifelong passion for the outdoors, while others might discover a talent for storytelling by writing for The Ensider, our Middle School student newspaper.
Moreover, extracurriculars encourage our students to contribute to the broader Ensworth community. Sports broadcasting allows students to highlight their peers' achievements, while Model UN connects students with global issues, fostering a sense of responsibility and civic engagement. These experiences cultivate a culture of inclusivity and teamwork, both within and beyond the school environment.
Trying new activities help students build confidence. When they take on unfamiliar challenges—whether it’s learning to cast a fishing line, experimenting with different mediums in art, or playing their first pickleball match—they gain a sense of accomplishment that boosts their self-esteem. These experiences encourage curiosity and a love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom. ■

Step into the wondrous & whimsical Land of Oz as our Middle School musical cast shares their excitement for this magical production.
Anna Jane ‘AJ’ Bailes ’29 was overjoyed to hear that she would play the role of the Scarecrow in the Middle School’s production. “I screeched, and my brother came in and asked what happened,” AJ said. “I told him, ‘The cast list is out. I got my first lead!’”
AJ started performing at Ensworth in Grade 1. Throughout her time at Red Gables, she has grown to love everything about theater, from acting to being on stage to wearing elaborate costumes. “Over time, I performed in more musicals and gained a lot of friends along the way. It built up my confidence on stage, and theater is so fun,” AJ shared.
This fall, our Middle School students brought The Wizard of Oz to life as they danced, sang, and skipped down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. Directed by Theater Arts Teacher John Swader, music directed by Chorus Teacher Lisa Benton, and choreographed by the Ensworth School of Dance’s Leila Jones, the cast worked enthusiastically as Dorothy, Toto, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow overcame challenges placed in their path by the Wicked Witch of the West.
“From the very first note of music rehearsal to the very last finale of the last show, the students beamed with excitement and rose above all my expectations of excellent work. I am so proud to be a part of this team.”
— LISA BENTON —
This production was particularly special for the cast because it opened a week before the movie adaption of the hit-broadway musical Wicked—which tells the story of the Wicked Witch of the West before the events of The Wizard of Oz—premiered in theaters worldwide.
“We felt like this was the right time to choose The Wizard of Oz, Youth Edition because the Wicked movie was coming out in November,” Swader said. “Directing The Wizard of Oz was such an honor for me. The resounding positive feedback received from so many fills my heart with joy.”
The musical’s cast consisted of both veteran Middle School theater actors like AJ and new actors like Ace Williams ’31. Ace moved to Nashville from Louisiana and started Ensworth as a new sixth grader. At his previous school, Ace said he didn’t have the opportunity to participate in any theater performances, so when he heard about auditions for The Wizard of Oz, he decided to take the leap into theater.
“During the audition process, I filled out a form with all the characters I would be interested in playing,” Ace said. “Then, I went in and we did some choreography and I ran some lines. A week later, I found out I got the role of the Wizard of Oz, and I was very excited!”
Some of Ace’s favorite memories from the show were getting to know new people while running lines and learning choreography.
“The rehearsals were a lot of fun and, I’ve gotten close with people who I really didn’t think I would get to meet. I’ve made a lot of new friends from the Wizard of Oz.”
— ACE WILLIAMS '31 —
This production was Swader’s first time directing an Ensworth show. His infectious energy and enthusiasm permeated through the cast and created a joyous
atmosphere both on and off stage. AJ recalled a special cast moment during one of the last rehearsals before the show opened.
“During one of the last rehearsals we had been eating Wicked-themed candy canes and Mr. Swader had us find someone we didn't really talk to a lot,” AJ said. “Then, we all got in a circle and said one word that described the musical. There were some really crazy words, and it was really fun. We were all hyped about the show, even though we were tired.”
The cast poured their focus, dedication, and joy into every dance and musical number from the toe-tapping “Jitterbug” to the celebratory “Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead,” making all of their hard work worth it.
“I am so proud of our amazingly gifted and talented young people and the incredible team I got to work with. We put forth many hours and hard work,” Swader said. “The support received will never be forgotten. Ensworth truly is a special place.” ■
visiting artists
WRITTEN BY MC CLAVERIE Communications Manager
In November and December, our High School students had the opportunity to learn, create, and perform with three visual and performing artists—XPayne, Jeff Coffin, and Deke Sharon. From individualized rehearsals and workshops to question and answer sessions, our Jazz Band, Encore, Chamber Singers, and visual art students had the chance to learn from and work with three expert artists.
XPAYNE is a visual artist who celebrates Black culture’s immense influence on American life by blending vibrant colors and bold iconography. Drawing on both traditional and modern techniques—starting with hand-drawn sketches that evolve into mixed-media or digital pieces—his art represents a dynamic, culturally rich perspective that honors both past and contemporary Black experiences.
During the fall semester, XPayne visited Ensworth’s Frist Campus three times to work with our students on an art installation. The piece, which uses spray paint as its main medium, was created to be an artistic representation of Ensworth.
All students were invited to learn XPayne's spray paint and masking technique. He also talked through his process, demonstrated techniques, and helped the students to apply paint, mask surfaces, and cut-out designs. This mural will become part of the permanent collection at the High School.
“I wanted to come up with a graphic representation of Ensworth itself, something that really represents the school,” XPayne said. “I decided on the symbols with the tiger and the colors. It’s a really fun piece that I could do with some of the students.”
JEFF COFFIN is a three-time Grammy-winning saxophonist, composer, and educator known for his work with Béla Fleck & the Flecktones (1997-2010) and Dave Matthews Band (2008–present). When Coffin is not on the road with Dave Matthews Band, he works around the country playing shows and presenting music clinics to students. He is also an educator at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music, the founder of Ear Up Records, and the cofounder of AfricaNashville.
Coffin shared that though he spends a lot of time on the road touring with Dave Matthews Band, he loves working with students because they inspire him. Running workshops at schools like Ensworth allow him to pass along his knowledge and musical experience.
During his time with Ensworth's JAZZ BAND, an instrumental ensemble where students delve into jazz improvisation and a variety of styles such as swing, blues, shuffles, Latin, fusion, and rock/funk, Coffin ran a series of musical drills to help improve the group's rhythm and articulation. One of these drills had the students put down their instruments and sing their parts instead.
"A lot of times, it's just getting them to play and articulate together, to internalize the music in a way, and to engage the bodies," Coffin said. "They have a shared experience, which translates into making the music."
Hugh Mixon '27 plays the vibraphone in the Jazz Band. He said that watching an expert like Coffin teach and coach the group through exercises, like the singing drill, helped improve his musical skills.
working with pros is a surreal experience
- DANIEL ULM '25
"It's like seeing a pro athlete; it doesn't feel real when you walk in there," Hugh said. "You see this three-time Grammy award-winning artist and understand why he's at that level in how he teaches and expresses his ideas. It's a huge help."
Daniel Ulm '25 said that he is always impressed when a professional musician comes to campus.
Though Daniel is now a senior and entering his last semester as a piano player in the Jazz Band, he said that Coffin's visit will stick with him.
"I think it was awesome, and working with pros is a surreal experience," Daniel said. "They are just so much better than you, and I learn so much by just watching what they are doing."
DEKE SHARON is a pioneering force in modern a cappella music. A prolific arranger with over 2,000 songs, Sharon was a vocal orchestrator for "In Transit," Broadway's first a cappella musical, and was an arranger, on-site music director, and vocal producer for all three "Pitch Perfect" movies.
While Sharon enjoys making movies and TV shows, he believes that live music is where the real magic happens. This passion for live performance is why Sharon also works with students through vocal workshops and classroom visits. "Having people learn how to sing and connect and communicate with each other live is an invaluable skill. I feel strongly that the next generation deserves an opportunity to learn this," Sharon said.
When Sharon visited Ensworth's Frist Campus, he had the opportunity to conduct rehearsals with both ENCORE, an a cappella group that focuses on contemporary a cappella arrangements and the CHAMBER SINGERS, a premiere, superior-rated festival choir.
Claire Kintz '26 joined Encore during her freshman year as a soprano one and sings the highest vocal
part in the group. Claire said Sharon's advice and musical expertise improved the group's emotional connection to the music. "He gave us a lot of structure, especially with our tempo, because our vocal percussion was not there that day," Claire said. "He taught us to internalize the beat during a performance; you're storytelling, and you should make the audience feel something."
Claire continued, "I feel very lucky to be part of a program that brings in talented performers to work with us. It's really unique to Ensworth, and I don't think you can find that anywhere else.” ■
The Harry A.J. Joyce Family Artist in Residence Fund was established to enrich the performing arts program at Ensworth. The fund provides our students and faculty with unique opportunities to experience professional mentorship. Our visiting artist program is supported by the Claire McBride Bass Endowment for the Arts, which was established by family and friends of Ensworth alumna, Claire McBride Bass '71, to honor her memory and cherish her love for the arts.
Visual Art Gallery
Come along on a journey through the vibrant creative lives of our young artists! These works by Ensworth’s Kindergarten through Grade 8 students are just a small sampling of the gifts blossoming in our art studios.
Throughout their years at Red Gables, every student is encouraged to explore, experiment, and express themselves, employing a wide variety of media and engaging in a rich array of projects. Whether through lively drawings, vivid paintings, or ceramic sculptures, the students learn to grasp technique, value individuality, and appreciate the gift of joyful exploration.
We are privileged to nurture not only artistic skills but also the confidence and critical thinking that come with the creative process. Join us in celebrating and viewing our world through the eyes of our talented Ensworth Tigers! ■

AN ENSWORTH TRADITION
Miss "Tinker" Van Why, a beloved member of the Ensworth facilities team, continues the tradition of seven push-ups when Ensworth scores the first touchdown at each home game. Go Tigers!
A First-
Generation Farmer's Journey of Nurturing Land and Livestock
Fairfax Landstreet '09 isn’t a born-and-raised farmer, but to an outsider, you’d never know it.
In the spacious rolling green hills of McEwen, Tennessee—about 40 miles from Ensworth’s Frist Campus— Landstreet owns and operates Fairfax Farms, a pasture-raised meat farm.
Landstreet did not start his professional career as a farmer. After graduating from Ensworth in 2009, he attended Sewanee: The University of the South, where he majored in economics. When Landstreet graduated from Sewanee in 2013, he dove into the world of finance and sales.
For eight years, Landstreet worked in finance, but everything changed when he started raising chickens in Green Hills as a hobby.
“I started raising chickens, and I loved it,” Landstreet said. “I ended up leasing a farm and staying on that farm for two years in Gallatin, and also working on a farm there.”
Landstreet started to learn the ropes of farming while working on the farm in Gallatin. There, he made his first animal
purchase, pigs, alongside the farm’s owner and began looking for a piece of land between 40 and 100 acres while still working his 9-5 finance job. The vision for Fairfax Farms finally came to fruition when Landstreet found an 800-acre deer camp property for sale in McEwen.
“One day, I found this piece of property, and it was such a cool property,” Landstreet said. “I called these two guys up who had never met each other before, and we met in the driveway. We had an offer on it around 10 days later.”
Landstreet said that from the beginning of Fairfax Farms, he wanted to focus on raising healthy animals on the land for slaughter as opposed to factory farming. All of his farm animals are pasture-raised, which means they consume a diversified forage diet and have the space to spread out on the land. As a result, Landstreet said the meat tastes better and is healthier; the land also benefits from this style of farming.
“Factory farming is such a fragile system and it's just not good for anything—it's not good for the animals, the land, or the people,” Landstreet said. “If you manage animals well on land, it is actually regenerative. Your topsoil will build and your plant species will diversify and be better for the soil. The healthy meat and sustainability are really good side effects of that.”
Landstreet has experimented with a variety of pasture-raised meat
products. When Fairfax Farms first started, Landstreet sold chicken breasts and eggs. During his second year running the farm, he raised hogs and chickens before shifting to cows and goats. Currently, he is raising 11 Katahdin / Dorper sheep and around 30 red Angus cows and calves.
While most people may think a farmer primarily focuses on raising animals and facilitating the meat production process, Landstreet plays a variety of roles on the farm.
“I think a lot of people, when they think of a farmer, they don't also think of a mechanic and a veterinarian and someone who knows about the trees,” said Kathryn Landstreet, Fairfax's wife. “There are so many different qualities that a farmer has that most people don't consider. A true farmer has all of those qualities and passion for it, which is why farming is such a great fit for him.”
One of Landstreet’s other projects on the farm is Buckhorn Hollow Farms, a portion of Fairfax Farms with seven cabins for guests to rent. Aligned with the focus on sustainability and living off the land, Landstreet said that the wood used for the cabins came from the property and a lot of it was cut at the sawmill on the farm. The furniture and decor in the cabins are also hand-built on property or thrifted.
As a first-generation farmer, Landstreet is striving to learn something new every day. His ability to experiment by trial and error has allowed him to research and choose how he wants to run his farm rather than just listen to the advice of older farmers. Because of this, he often comes up with solutions on the spot, which he learned how to do while around the Harkness table at Ensworth.
“You learn that everybody staring at you is an awesome thing; it makes you think on the spot,” Landstreet said. “That's one of my best traits that contributed to farming, having the ability to think and come up with solutions on the spot. You can't just hide behind
a desk with everybody at your back around a Harkness table or as a farmer. That’s the thing I look back on from Ensworth, knowing how it shaped my future.”
In the spring of 2025, Landstreet hopes to have Buckhorn Hollow Farms fully ready for guests and events. He is looking forward to launching a fully immersive guest experience and instilling a deep-rooted passion for the land through outdoor activities and educational classes. ■

ALUMNI SUPPORTING ENSWORTH
NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Ensworth National Advisory Council (NAC) is a permanent organization created by the Board of Trustees to promote the general welfare of the school. The purpose of the NAC is to bring together a key group of Ensworth alumni from across the country whose collective accomplishments, stature within their respective communities, and diversity of backgrounds and perspectives can be used to provide advice and insight to the Board.
Through the work of the NAC, the Board is able to leverage its expanding national alumni base to obtain counsel on issues affecting the school, support development and fundraising efforts, and foster among its members and throughout the community an enlightened understanding of Ensworth's mission, strengths, and values.

"The National Advisory Council (NAC) provides the Board of Trustees with an intentional lens outside the Middle Tennessee Market, ensuring that we are competing on a national scale and striving for excellence that is top in the nation. We learn from our best-in-class peer schools from across the country to adopt their best practices. The NAC provides a strategic resource to Ensworth, encouraging the school to think bigger and forward."

"Being part of the NAC has been a full-circle moment for me. I’ve loved connecting with alumni who are chasing their dreams and building impressive careers, all while staying passionate about making Ensworth even better. It’s been so rewarding to dig into the challenges the school faces, learn how other top schools tackle similar issues, and get a glimpse into how things work in different regions. The whole experience has been energizing and deeply fulfilling."
"Serving on the National Advisory Council is a meaningful way for me to give back to Ensworth, which played a pivotal role in shaping who I am today. One of the most rewarding aspects is connecting with fellow NAC alumni—many of whom live outside Nashville, have built remarkable careers, and share a deep commitment to guiding Ensworth toward an even brighter future. It’s inspiring to hear their stories, see them generously lending their time and talents, and collaborate together to strengthen Ensworth for generations to come."
"The sense of community at Ensworth is truly special, and the NAC has been a great reminder of why we as alumni need to stay engaged and involved. Walking through the halls again, reconnecting with teachers, and seeing how the school continues to nurture curiosity and leadership showcase why it’s such an exceptional place. It’s exciting to collaborate with others who are passionate about the Ensworth’s mission and to help shape the future of a school that shaped me."
CELEBRATING THE 50TH REUNION
CLASS of 1974
Cheers to 50 Years! Over 30 alums from the Class of 1974—coming from California to Colorado to right down the road—gathered to celebrate this milestone reunion. The Host Committee worked for months, tracking down classmates and former teachers, and planning an unforgettable evening. We are especially grateful to Lisa Hooker Campbell '74 for underwriting the event, and to Trudy Caldwell Byrd '74 for hosting at her lovely home.
As only Trudy can do, she got the word out, and before long, numerous people volunteered to help plan and coordinate this event. It’s hard to believe that a casual conversation (over dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Denver) morphed into such a beautiful, memorable evening. The sizable turnout speaks volumes about the friendships and relationships that have remained over the years. - Johnny Dicker '74
It was a pure pleasure to see so many old friends together at our reunion. We all had so much fun and the warm memories will stay with us for a long time. - Lisa Hooker Campbell '74
The evening was perfect—old friends, great food, beautiful weather and surroundings and most of all lots of love! - Adam Liff '74
I feel like our shared Ensworth experiences have been fundamental in creating our purposeful lives. I’m so happy to have been a part of such a great class! - Rachel Smith Price '74
I am truly grateful for the many wonderful memories of our days together at Ensworth. As Mary Schmich wrote, "The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young." - Paul Stumb '74

PARENT EDUCATION EVENT
Fighting Achievement Culture
Valuing Children for Who They Are, Not What They Do
This fall, the Parent Association invited the award-winning reporter and author of Never Enough: When Achievement Culture
Becomes Toxic, Jennifer Wallace, to speak virtually in a fireside talk format with Ensworth’s Associate Head of School Dr. Heather Caponi. Wallace’s research investigates the deep roots of toxic achievement culture and reveals what we must do to fight back. She argues that by valuing children for who they are rather than what they do, we can begin to alleviate some of the serious mental health problems affecting American children.
Wallace discussed how to spot ‘never enough' syndrome in kids who aren’t willing to speak up about it. Wallace said she posed that question to Tina Payne Bryson, who will speak to the Ensworth community in April. Dr. Bryson told Wallace that parents should ask themselves four questions:
How many of your children’s hours are spent pursuing these achievement-oriented goals?
How much money is going toward these achievement-oriented goals?
What do you ask your kids about?
• What do you argue with your kids about?
“These four things will tell you a lot about what your child thinks matters most to you,” Wallace said.
For parents with young children and adult children, Wallace hopes that through being intentional about mattering, parents can help combat 'never enough' syndrome. As an educational institution, Dr. Caponi shared that Ensworth supports parents on this journey as well.
“What I truly hope is that our Ensworth community hears that, as a school, we will help you,” Dr. Caponi said. “We don’t want you to worry alone. We want to be a place where you can feel like you matter, so you can help your children feel like they matter.” ■

Many aspects of Ensworth make our school special—our impeccable campuses and facilities, our incredible teachers, and the smiling faces of our students as they run into school in the morning. However, one thing that may not be as obvious but is an integral part of Ensworth is the Parent Association.
From hosting pop-ups filled with goodies for our teachers, to the Sunshine Committee supporting families in their times of need to parents volunteering all across our campuses, having a strong Parent Association is part of what makes Ensworth the special place that we all love.
SUNSHINE COMMITTEE
Delivering special treats to faculty and students during difficult times
“Dear Sunshine committee from Danny. Thank you for my gift. I liked the stuff in my gift. In my gift, I loved the toy tiger, the ice pack, and the cookie. Thank you for making me feel better. Let’s go tigers.”
- Danny PorrasGrade 1 Student
TEACHER APPRECIATION
Showering our faculty and staff with gratitude and treats throughout the year
"There's nothing quite like the warm, uplifting feeling of walking into the teacher's lounge and being greeted by an amazing display of treats. It's a small moment that brings big joy. These events definitely make our days a little sweeter—literally and figuratively!"
- Chris ChampionGrade 4 Math and Science Teacher
NEW PARENT EVENTS
Welcoming our newest Tiger families into the Ensworth school community
"The new parent social events are the best way to meet other parents, share experiences, and for us, specifically, to create new friendships and that support system that parents need in a new city and new school."
