Our Administration

Welcome, Viking Families!

I am honored to begin my fourth year at William R. Davie Middle S.T.E.M. Academy as your Assistant Principal. 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!

Let’s make it a great year,

Mrs. Pearson
