Welcome From the Principal

Welcome to Una Elementary School. Here you’ll find qualified teachers, helpful staff and committed community partners to give our students what they need to succeed in today’s world.  

We expect our students to meet high achievement standards, and they do. The atmosphere here is friendly and nurturing because we want students and their families to feel comfortable in our partnership. Come for a visit and see for yourself what a caring community of learners looks like. 

School Description

In the late 1800s, Una Elementary School started as a one-room schoolhouse. Today, it is one of the largest elementary schools in Nashville and has earned the distinction of being known as a "Caring Community of Learners."

Teachers, staff members, administrators and parents are committed to working together to provide the best education possible for each student. Our small class sizes allow teachers to work one-on-one with students, and a variety of programs, such as Accelerated Reader and Encore help challenge our students to become productive members of society. 

Una Elementary is also known for its enriching arts programs. We’re a Little Kids Rock school, which gives our students the opportunity to explore their musical talents. In fact, many of our students are being noticed for their excellent musical skills. 

Students represent 23 spoken languages, and we believe the diversity of our families, students and staff is another of our greatest strengths.
