Who is Mr. Davis?
I am currently an Assistant Principal. I received my Master's degree in Educational Administration at Texas Southern University. I am also officially ABD, and my expected graduation is in the Fall of 2023 with a Ph.D. in Educational leadership. I began teaching in Aldine in August 2017. I taught AP Government, AP Economics, and US Government for four years. Then I decided I needed a change and started teaching at Summer Creek High School in August 2021. I taught at Summer Creek for six months before receiving a call from Klein High School to become the Assistant Principal with a focus on student behavior. I currently hold this position. I create Opulent Interest-Educational Services to continue building capacity in students and future teachers by providing resources, research strategies, and authentic experiences to better assist them with understanding the full scope of being an educator and student. Denzel Washington stated, "Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardships." The journey to becoming an effective educator and leader is not easy. These experiences make me an unbelievable, energetic, and loving educator.
