ACADEMIC INTERVENTIONIST/GRADUATION COACH
Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year!
I am David Mowery the Academic Interventionist aka Graduation Coach for Pepperel High School. My job is to work with students, parents, and teachers to help navigate the path to graduation. Whether it is helping 8th graders transition to the high school campus and develop habits for academic success or getting a senior over their last hurdles to earn a diploma, I am here to help.
Pepperell High School Learning Lab
If your student is currently enrolled in a recovery course in the Pepperell High School Learning Lab, myself along with Mrs.Weaver will be assisting your student to recover credits they previously failed in order to move them forward to the ultimate goal of graduation. The Learning Lab offers recovery courses in all subjects using the online Edgenuity software platform. The courses in Edgenuity meet all Georgia Department of Education standards and have been further audited by Floyd County educators to meet local expectations. It is possible to recover multiple courses in a single semester only if your student works hard and is dedicated everyday.
Enrollment in recovery courses via the Learning Lab at Pepperell High School is a second-chance education opportunity and a privilege. Your student must abide by all the expectations of the Learning Lab to maintain their enrollment and be successful.

About me
I am in my 23rd year teaching here at Pepperell High School. I started my teaching career at Cedar Shoals High School in Athens, GA before moving to Rome. Prior to my career as a teacher, I spent 6 years in management at various retail establishments. I have a Marketing Degree from the University of Georgia and a Masters in Education - also from UGA. (I am a very loyal Bulldog.) I have also completed my Ed Leadership Specialist Degree at Berry College.
I am an outdoor enthusiast - fly fishing and kayaking are my favorite hobbies. The Florida Keys are my favorite place to get away to - if you have never been, you need to go. I have never been to another place where nature provides you with a different and spectacular experience each day.
I also LOVE my Georgia Bulldogs. Win or lose it is GREAT to be a Georgia Bulldog.
