Davidson Middle School

We hope all our Panthers have a relaxing Spring Break and return ready for maximum effort through final 9 weeks of school!

Congratulations are in order! Before the second round of FAST testing, we informed students that we would be giving away two desktop computers to students who showed growth. 78% of our Panthers showed growth in Math. Raeleigh Vaughn was the lucky winner out of 750 math students. 61% of our students showed growth in Reading. From that group of 656, Jacob Moore had his name drawn. We are Panther Proud of all our students who showed growth and were entered into the drawing. We can't wait to see your outstanding achievement on the next test!!! Hard work pays off!

We'd like to thank Eli Scharf for his generous contribution to the Davidson Middle School golf programs! He fundraised enough money to donate three brand new sets of golf clubs, three gently used sets of golf clubs, and three gently used boxes of golf balls. What a great human!! 💙🐾⛳️

If you have a student interested in cheer, here's all the information you need about tryouts. Go Panthers!

Addison Maneen and Dewayne Moore were our school finalists for the Cox Inspirational Hero Award. Despite challenging personal circumstances, they come to school with a positive attitude and do amazing things. We are Panther Proud of their determination!! We'd also like to thank Craig Hatcher with Woodmen Life for donating their awards. Our community partners are the absolute best!

We'd like to give a shout out to Alex Masso. He participates in our "Buddies" program and decided some of his new friends would like a fidget toy. So, he made these darling starfish on a 3D printer to share. We are Panther Proud of his caring heart!
