Hello everyone, 

I am Bernadette Davis, and I will teach 7th & 8th Grade Social Studies at Lake Olympia Middle School. I am excited by this opportunity to join the Lake Olympia faculty and teach a course that I am passionate about. I have taught for the past 16 years in Florida and now in Texas. During my tenure in education, I have taught at the Middle School level, including World History, Civics and Government, and U.S. History.

History is my passion, and I strive to bring that passion to the classroom. I genuinely believe that History and Social Studies can inspire and motivate young learners who are very curious about the society they live in. My purpose as an educator is to equip the learners I instruct with the knowledge needed to become informed citizens who take the responsibilities of citizenship seriously and make impactful contributions to the country and the world. Most importantly, I love young people and want to help them to become their best version. 

I am a lifelong learner with a B.A. in Sociology and a Master's in History. I am currently completing a second Master's degree in Instructional Design and Human Performance Management at the University of Houston.  In my spare time, I like to go on kayaking and water tubing trips with my family and crochet; it relaxes me. 

I look forward to a productive and enjoyable Lake Olympia Middle School year. 

Yours in Service

Bernadette Davis, MRes.
