NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A song written and produced together by Nashville students and teachers has now made its way to Music Row.
“Every Student Known” is available for listening and viewing on streaming services, YouTube and the Metro Nashville Public Schools website.
This effort came together from the performing arts director Franklin Willis, who asked students across Nashville to contribute.
The district then convened a four-day songwriting summit this summer. The students visited Capitol Christian Music Group and recorded at Universal Music Group Nashville’s studios in Berry Hill.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
