🌟 Senior Spotlight: Taylor Mack 🌟
Taylor plans to attend Coastal Community College to earn her associate’s degree before continuing on to the University of South Alabama to pursue a degree in Radiology.
She is a 3-year Varsity Softball player, a proud member of the National Technical Honor Society, President of FCA and FCCLA, a Bryant Career Technical Center Ambassador, 2025 HOSA Secretary, Google Certified Educator (Levels 1 & 2), and holds CPR and CNA certifications. She also participated in USA Upward Bound, works as a cashier at Walmart, and is a proud member of 3 Circle Church Midtown.
Taylor is most proud of becoming a member of the National Technical Honor Society and earning her CNA certification.
She says she’ll miss Mrs. Callias the most, sharing that she believed in every student and made reading joyful by encouraging everyone to slow down and truly enjoy a good book, especially in Women’s Literature.

History came alive for Davidson High School students at Alabama History Day on April 9th, hosted by the Alabama Humanities Alliance at beautiful American Village in Montevallo, AL. Joining students from across Alabama, they enjoyed a day of celebrating history and learning about our nation's founding at this replica village featuring Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the Oval Office.

🌟 Senior Spotlight: Aubrie Norfus 🌟
Aubrie plans to attend the University of South Alabama. She was heavily involved in Yearbook and Black Student Union during her junior and senior years. In Yearbook, she did it all—taking photos, conducting interviews, and hand‑crafting graphics that brought the book to life. As a senior leader in BSU, Aubrie was involved with planning events and organizing meetings.
What she’s most proud of is her personal transformation—from an uninterested, uninvolved teenager into a proactive, motivated young adult who took control of her education and committed to success.
She will miss Mrs. Henley the most, who has been a constant source of support and encouragement, always believing in Aubrie and being there through big and small moments alike. She also gives a heartfelt thank‑you to Mrs. Faris for being a positive light: "no matter what morning I was having I always felt a little better leaving her classroom than I did coming in!"
Her favorite memory? Emceeing the BSU Talent Show senior year—seeing all the hard work pay off and feeling the joy of the club’s success.
Advice from Aubrie: Surround yourself with people who uplift you, encourage you, and stand by you even during hard times.
