Kenneth Davis Elementary School opened on Monday, August
13, 2001. The school, located at 900 Eden Road in Arlington,
Texas, was built with a capacity of 800 students.
The school was named after former MISD Administrator, Kenneth
Davis. Mr. Davis began his career in education as an elementary
school teacher in the Fort Worth Independent School District.
He moved to Mansfield ISD in 1972 to serve as principal of
Tarver Rendon Elementary School. During his six years as head
of that campus, Mr. Davis became known throughout the District
as a man of strong values and integrity.
In 1978, Kenneth Davis was promoted to an assistant superintendent.
He supervised numerous areas including maintenance, transportation
and textbooks. Later Mr. Davis became the District's Associate
Superintendent of Personnel. He remained in that position
until 1991 when he served as Interim Superintendent for one
year before his retirement.
Today, the direction and accomplishments of Kenneth Davis
can be seen and felt throughout MISD. Strong educators, hired
and mentored by Mr. Davis, have been instrumental in building
the District's outstanding reputation for the pursuit of excellence.
In the truest sense of the expression, Kenneth Davis is a
gentleman of great character. It is indeed an honor for the
Mansfield ISD to recognize his contribution to education with
the dedication of Kenneth Davis Elementary School. |
