Shana Druffner, the inaugural principal of St. Michael Academy, which is currently under construction in Nolensville, will be visiting three churches in Williamson County this weekend as a way to introduce herself to the surrounding community.
Her schedule is as follows:

The first phase of St. Michael Academy, which includes construction of the elementary school, is currently underway. The school is expected to be open in time for the 2024-25 school year. Plans call for the campus to eventually include a high school.
