Home of the Vikings

Welcome to William R. Davie Middle S.T.E.M. Academy, where bold ideas, bright futures, and brilliant minds come together—the Viking way!

I’m Dr. Tevis Harris, and I’m honored to serve as the principal of this exceptional school community. With over 20 years of experience in education and a deep-rooted passion for S.T.E.M. learning, I believe our students are capable of greatness—and it’s our collective job to help them reach it.

At Davie, our story is one of resilience, achievement, and momentum. Over the past few years, we’ve seen:

•  Decreased discipline challenges
•  A strengthened school culture rooted in safety, respect, and routine

That’s the Viking spirit—and we’re just getting started.

 My Leadership Motto:

Lead with heart. Lead with vision. Always forward.

 Our Vision:

To be a bold and brilliant S.T.E.M. academy where learning is immersive, teaching is inspired, and students are equipped to solve real-world problems with confidence, creativity, and compassion.

 Our Core Values:

• Empowerment – Every learner and leader is capable, creative, and ready to soar
• Innovation – We embrace bold, 21st-century learning
• Equity – Every student gets what they need to thrive
• Excellence – High standards for ourselves and our students
• Collaboration – Better together, every voice matters
• Joy – Learning that inspires, energizes, and transforms

I believe education is a team effort—and partnerships with families, staff, and our community will be key to our continued success. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, mentor, business owner, faith leader, or Viking alumni:

You belong here. Your presence matters.

Let’s make this a year of unity, innovation, and unstoppable growth. Together, we will rise.

Feel free to reach out to our office with questions or ideas. And be sure to follow us on social media and check our website regularly for updates and events—including the upcoming “Meet the Principal” community gathering (details coming soon)!

With Viking pride,

Dr. Tevis Harris

Hello Viking families,

As I enter my third year here at W.R. Davie as the Assistant Principal, I am excited to be here and to work with the students, teachers, and parents, and especially our PTA and officers for another year. I feel comfortable in the fact that Mr. Tracey and myself work well together as a team and in the best interests of all students. I look forward to students gaining some extracurricular activity time built into our daily schedule this school year. I am also excited to try to incorporate a more solid and exciting PBIS program with tangible prizes and recognitions. I will also serve as the Bus Coordinator and the Testing Coordinator, and look forward to all going well. Finally, I look forward to getting our Jr. BETA Club up and running on a more positive and competitive agenda. 

Thank You to the School Board and Dr. Cunningham for the opportunity to serve Davie families for another year. Thank You to all parents and students for your support. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
