Vanderbilt is among 70 elementary, middle, and high schools across the nation to earn recognition through the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree Campus K-12 program.

Knowing that school work goes on without students who are spending time at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, the hospital developed its school program 28 years ago.

Last November, voters in the area served by the school turned down a proposal to levy 18 mills on non-homestead property from 2023 through 2028 by a margin of 14 votes — 431 yes to 445 no votes.
