Dear Parents and Students,

As I embark on my second year as the principal of William R. Davie Middle STEM Academy, I am filled with excitement and optimism for the journey ahead. Our collective mission continues to focus on creating a safe and inclusive environment where diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated and respected.

At the core of our school's values is a commitment to fostering a positive culture built on kindness, empathy, and mutual respect. These are the pillars that will guide our interactions and shape the atmosphere in which we learn and grow together.

Academically, we will strive for excellence by offering a rigorous curriculum designed to challenge students, igniting their curiosity, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning. Our educators are empowered to employ innovative teaching strategies, integrating technology and real-world applications to enhance engagement and prepare students for the demands of the 21st century.

Equally important is our commitment to students' social and emotional well-being. We are dedicated to supporting the development of character, resilience, and interpersonal skills. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where all students feel valued, heard, and understood. We will collaborate closely with counselors, support staff, and community partners to provide the necessary resources and guidance for students’ holistic growth.

Transparency and accountability will remain at the forefront of our administrative practices. My door is always open, and I welcome feedback, ideas, and concerns from all members of our school community. Together, we will continuously evaluate our progress, celebrate our achievements, and address any challenges that arise, always with your best interests in mind.

I look forward to another year of growth, learning, and success at William R. Davie Middle STEM Academy.

Yours in education,

Dr. Anthony Tracey

Principal, W. R. Davie Middle STEM Academy
