Welcome back, Tigers! Fall teams have been hard at work over the summer training for their seasons and joining in on optional workouts and camps. Tennis, volleyball, mountain biking, cross country, and our football co-op have officially started their seasons, with competitions starting very soon.
We encourage you to join us in cheering on all of our athletes this season as they compete.
We kick off our River Campus High School home matches on Friday, August 21 as our girls soccer team takes on vs. Hillsboro High School at 4:30 and 6 p.m. Daddy’s Dogs will be there, so come hungry. Looking ahead to next week, Fall Spirit Night is on Tuesday, August 25 in Sperling Gym. August 25 is also our High School volleyball home opener. There will be a Spirit Store pop-up, crafts, school swag, face painting, a photo booth, Daddy’s Dogs, and more! All Middle School students and families are encouraged to attend and support the High School athletes in the programs they will join in the future.
Director of Auxiliary Services Rebecca Stokes was given the Summer Programs and Auxiliary Revenue Collaborative’s award for her work including students in the selection of a new playground, transitioning the school bookstore, refining registration systems and processes for summer camps & enrichment activities, and expanding the school’s cultural and holiday celebrations to be inclusive of USN’s diverse student body.

Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
Middle School volleyball and tennis teams are nearing the final games of their seasons, with the competition heating up while the Tigers play to determine their HVAC rankings. Cross country was finally able to race at the River Campus despite the heat, and our mountain biking team traveled to Oakfield, Tennessee, for a high-temperature race weekend.
The MTB team returned to the the twisty trails of tranquil Oakfield, TN on Sept 13th to take part in the second race of the season, as part of the 5-race series hosted by the NICA/TICL League.
