Overbrook partners with Montgomery Bell Academy to provide morning bus transportation.
For the 2011-2012 school year MBA will be providing morning bus transportation with three routes as a service and convenience for MBA, St. Cecilia, and Harpeth Hall families who live in Rutherford, Wilson, and Williamson counties. These routes will pick up in Murfreesboro, Antioch, Brentwood, Franklin, Lebanon, Mt. Juliet and Hermitage and drop off at St. Cecilia, Harpeth Hall, and MBA each morning. The buses will run each morning that MBA has school, including exam weeks at the end of each semester. On Fridays and times that MBA has a scheduled 10 a.m. start time, the buses will still run at the regular times shown below. In the event of inclement weather that would prevent safe bus transportation, families will be notified by phone alert system and on the MBA website.
Please contact Greg Ferrell at greg.ferrell@montgomerybell.edu before Aug. 10 to register.
