• ProjectU is a student led group focused on building unity and promoting kindness. Members help think of creative ways to help bring awareness to the topic of bullying throughout our school and community. ProjectU was first created by high school students at Hardin Valley Academy. They wanted to bring awareness to the growing issue of bullying that takes place in our schools and online. Now ProjectU is established in all middle schools across Knox County!
