From the Director
As we celebrate another exciting year with the Academies of Nashville, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible progress we made together in the 2023-2024 school year.
This year, our commitment to fostering innovative, hands-on learning experiences has shone brighter than ever. One of our standout accomplishments was hosting the 14th annual Career Exploration Fair on October 31st, where over 90 partner organizations connected students to exciting career opportunities. This event demonstrated the continued strength of our partnerships and the power of connecting students to realworld opportunities.
Speaking of real-world opportunities, our Career-Based Learning (CBL) program reached new heights this year, expanding to 155 participants—a milestone reaffirming our communities’ commitment to these opportunities.
I am also proud to share the achievements of 11 of our academies that underwent Accreditation with the National Career Academy Coalition (NCAC). This rigorous process resulted in one academy earning the prestigious Model with Distinction status and nine academies attaining Model status, a testament to our educators’ and school leaders’ hard work and excellence.
This summer, we hosted the AON Summer Institute, which brought together certificated staff from all twelve schools for four impactful days of professional development. Additionally, our academy coaches presented Y-AON training to all school staff, ensuring alignment and understanding of the academy model across our network.
Each of these achievements reflects the unwavering dedication of our schools, founding partners, community organizations, and business partners. Your hard work and passion continue to transform our students’ lives and our community’s future.
As we look ahead, let us carry forward this momentum and build upon the foundation we have laid. Together, we will continue to empower our students to achieve their dreams and make a lasting impact.
Sincerely,
Dan Phillips Director of the Academies of Nashville & CTE
