OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A former Oshkosh West High School teacher is set to return to the district as its next superintendent.
The school board says it has offered the position to Bryan Davis. The board is set to meet Tuesday afternoon to vote on Davis’ contract, which would start July 1.
Davis, currently the superintendent of the Shorewood School District in southeastern Wisconsin, says he is excited to return to Oshkosh, where he taught business education from 1998 to 2002.
“My wife, Dawn, and I feel blessed to be called back home to serve with a talented staff to support the academic growth and wellness of all of our kids in Oshkosh,” Davis said in a news release. “We have always considered Oshkosh a special place for our family.
“Dr. Davis embodies all of the qualities the community and Board were seeking – a leader with experience in building positive staff culture, strong community involvement and equitable student growth and achievement,” board president Bob Poeschl said in a news release. “The Board enthusiastically supports the hiring of Dr. Davis.”
Davis has been in Shorewood since 2015. Before that, he was superintendent of the Columbus School District in southern Wisconsin from 2010-2015. He is also a former principal at Green Bay Southwest High School and assistant principal at Green Bay Preble High School.
Davis has a doctorate in urban education and a master’s degree in educational administration from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a bachelor’s degree in education from UW-Whitewater.
Davis would succeed Vickie Cartwright, who is resigning June 30.
