Welcome from the Principal

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.

With Viking pride,

It is a privilege to serve such an incredible community of students, educators, and families. This year, I am especially excited to work alongside our new principal, Dr. Tevis Harris. Together, I am confident we will lead with purpose, collaborate effectively, and always keep the best interests of our students at the heart of every decision.

As we continue to grow and improve, I remain committed to our mission to Lead, Learn, and Level Up. In addition to my role as Assistant Principal, I will also serve as the Bus Coordinator and Testing Coordinator for the school. I am optimistic that this year will bring great success, including academic growth and continued innovation within our S.T.E.M. program.

Thank you to the Halifax County School Board and Dr. Cunningham for the continued opportunity to serve the Davie community. And a special thank you to our parents and students for your unwavering support. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas—we’re better together!
