Saint Henry School’s athletic teams had a busy year and enjoyed the normalcy of this year. The 5th & 6th grade volleyball teams had an exciting season, the 6th-8th golf team swung the clubs well, a flag football program was started for 1st-4th graders, and the soccer teams played hard during the season with the 7th and 8th grade varsity team winning the League and Tournament Championship! Preparations are already happening for the fall sports season.

There were four 5th & 6th grade volleyball teams this year. Each team’s skill level grew a great deal during the season. All the teams finished with winning records with several of them having only lost one or two matches the entire season. The future looks bright for the volleyball program at Saint Henry School! The golf team also had a successful season. There was no team championship this year, but that did not stop the Tigers from showing their stripes.

Connor Cahill won the end of the season tournament, and the title of Best Overall Player for Division I. Thomas Johns also had a strong showing, coming in third during the end of the season tournament.

Eli Samuelson finished second in the Division II tournament and Bridget Steiner was voted Most Improved Golfer this year!

The diocese attempted to start a flag football league right before covid hit and it was exciting to see this program finally come to fruition this year. The league was for 1st-4th grade and the Tigers had threteams during this inaugural season. There was one 3rd & 4th grade team and it was fun watching their teamwork and skill grow during the season. The two 1st & 2nd grade teams had great seasons as well, and Coach Wilson’s team went undefeated! The diocese is already discussing the option to expand this program to other grades during the upcoming season.

The spring season concluded with soccer and the Tigers had a strong showing this year again with one 5th and 6th grade team and two 7th & 8th grade teams consisting of a Junior Varsity and a Varsity team. The 5th & 6th grade team had a fantastic season and lost only one game during the season. The 7th & 8th grade teams (JV and V) both were successful this year in the varsity division. The JV team won their first round of the tournament, avenging a loss from earlier in the season, and lost in the semi-finals. The varsity team finished the season undefeated and won the League Championship. They backed up that performance coming out the champions of the end of season tournament as well!

The spring sports season was an enormous success, and all the teams had a great showing. Preparations are already underway for the fall athletic season at Tiger Town. The athletic program would not be a success without hard work and commitment from the athletes and coaches.

First Lego League

“Building” leaders and problem solvers

Congratulations to the First Lego League teams this season. Saint Henry School was pleased to add a second team this school year. Students explored transportation and logistics as part of this year’s “Cargo Connect” theme. They interviewed professionals in the field, toured the Nashville International Airport and Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Region 3 Station, and even flew drones as part of their research! The TIGERS (Thoughtful, Innovative, Grateful, Engineers, Researchers, and Students) built and programmed competitive autonomous robots using the Lego spike Prime kit, and learned how to work together as a team and mentor peers.

First Lego League took place in person at the Regional and State levels in Tennessee. Both teams competed at the Regional Tournament in December. The Saint Henry Black team, which is the returning team, took home 1st place for their Innovation Project. For this project they created an app to help report potholes using GPS coordinates. Using data from sensors on the automobile, the app would send a message to appropriate road authorities (TDoT, County, Metro) to notify them of the problem areas that needed to be fixed. Placing at the Regional Tournament allowed the Black Team to continue practicing and then competes at the State Championship Tournament in February where they received 2nd place for Core Values. There were 46 teams present.

The Core Values Award celebrates a team that displays extraordinary enthusiasm and spirit. The judges said that the Saint Henry School Team “had outstanding teamwork, innovative thinking, and gracious attitudes.”

The school is proud of all team members! The Black Team members are Emma Kate Kittrell, Abby Greer, Audrey Spencer, Lisa Lopez, George Penne, Isa Rubadeau, John Spencer, and Noah Wiley. The Gold Team members are Ruth Armour, Patrick Barnett, Mollie Donlon, Mikey LaLonde, Anderson Pillow, Henry Thomas, Tessa Brodhag, Maria Sanchez-Garcia, and Roberto Sergio.
