My favorite thing about Davidson Academy is how inviting the teachers have always been. They get to know you on a more personal level.

My favorite class is Algebra 2 Honors. I really enjoy math and I get along well with everyone in my class. 

How would you describe the classroom environment at DA?

The classroom environment at Davidson is calm and welcoming. The teachers are very patient with students that need extra help. 

What is your favorite DA tradition?

My favorite DA tradition is homecoming week. I love being able to dress up for the themes and decorating the hallways! As a cheerleader, the homecoming parade and pep rally is very fun!  

What activities are you involved in at DA? 

I am on the Davidson Varsity Cheer Team, Beta Club, and DA Ambassadors. 

Choose a DA activity or team that you listed above and describe your experience and how it has impacted you.

Cheerleading is a big part of my life. It has taught me how to lead and it is very exciting to cheer on our football and basketball teams. 

Davidson Academy is a God-focused school. How does that impact life at DA and what does it mean to you?

Being able to openly talk about God and pray with other students is very impactful. I enjoy chapel Thursdays and being able to get an aspect of Christ outside of church. 

What would you tell someone who was interested in attending Davidson Academy?

I would tell them that the teachers will guide them through classes and they will be welcomed by students here with open arms. 

What has DA taught you about being a leader?

DA has taught me that being a leader doesn't just mean bossing people around, it means guiding them through example.
