Dear students and families,

I am honored to introduce myself as the Principal of Davidson Middle Academy within Southgate Community Schools. During my 23 years in education, I have dedicated my career to serving students and families within the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program. I have experience as a teacher with 6th through 10th grades, testing coordinator, Middle Years Program coordinator, and associate principal at one of Michigan’s top high schools. Throughout my career, I have successfully cultivated environments where curiosity, care, and a spirit of inquiry thrive, allowing all learners to find success and achieve at exceptional levels. 

Guided by the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit, I am committed to modeling excellence, compassion, and continuous improvement to support student achievement and growth. I am excited to expand upon the strong foundation Southgate Community Schools has already established and continue to build a vibrant learning community together rooted in authentic learning opportunities, collaboration, and joy where all students strive towards excellence and pursue their passions.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions you have. I'd love to talk about how Davidson Middle Academy can support your child.

Sincerely,

Jessica Garcia
