Paul Davis has been named the recipient of the 2025 Middle School Program of the Year award by the Virginia Technology & Engineering Education Association (VTEEA), one of the highest honors a Technology & Engineering educator can receive in the state.

The award recognizes Davis’s exceptional commitment to building and sustaining one of the strongest middle school programs in Virginia. His dedication to innovation, hands-on learning, and student engagement has had a lasting impact, both within his school community and across the state.

In addition to this statewide recognition, Davis will be honored at the national level during the International Technology & Engineering Education Association (ITEEA) Conference in March 2026 in Virginia Beach.
