      History


      USJ was formed from the merger of Old Hickory Academy (OHA) and Episcopal Day School (EDS). Each of these schools were originally formed in 1970. Old Hickory Academy was an independent school which included primary education through a high school curriculum. Episcopal Day School was a smaller, parochial school which emphasized primary education, but had begun a high school program by 1986, enrolling grades nine and ten.
      In 1987 the two schools merged to form the University School of Jackson.


      Academics



      In 2018, USJ opened an academic center to provide educational support for students with learning prescriptions.


      Administration


      Current head of the school is Don Roe, who previously was the Associate Head of School, and director of Middle School. He replaces Stuart Hirstein.
