We love our “Sunshine and Moonlight” Administrative Assistants. They were showered with gifts, lunch off campus, and lots of WVHS love.
🎶🪑 Science, strategy, and a little friendly chaos! Mrs. Jacks’s class took review time to the next level today with a game of musical chairs – science style! 🧪📚
Each time the music stopped, students had to answer a review question to keep their seat. From ecosystems to energy, they showed off their smarts and had a blast getting ready for the upcoming state science assessment!
During last night's board meeting, Water Valley School District recognized the 2024-2025 Teachers of the Year.
A loud, cheering roar of applause exploded in the Davidson Elementary School cafeteria when the 2024-2025 “Teacher of the Year” was recently announced—and the applause continued long after she stood up and accepted her award. That response is a testament to the respect and love this teacher garners from both peers and students alike. DES is pleased to announce Mrs. Stephanie Bobo is our Teacher of the Year.
Mrs. Bobo has been married to her husband Jerome for ten years, and they share three children who are all in the WVSD school system: Brooklyn (14), Jace (11), and Juan (7). In her spare time, Mrs. Bobo enjoys reading and “torturing my family with impromptu karaoke nights.” One of her goals is to begin writing books of her own soon.
6th grade students had the following things to say about Mrs. Bobo:
Isaiah Stokes: “She knows how to turn a bad day into a good day, and she teaches in a fun way that helps us learn. She has great singing voice, too!”
Adalynn McDaniel: “There’s never a dull moment in her class. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had.”
Kanaudia Smith: “I love Mrs. Bobo because she is funny and sweet. If any us don’t understand something, she will re-teach it until we get it.”
Enoch Summerford: “She understands and helps people when they are feeling down. She always manages to bring a smile to my face.”
DES Head Principal Lee Gray stated: “Mrs. Bobo is one of the most inspiring teachers and personalities I have had the pleasure to work alongside. She is one of the most positive people I have ever met and goes out of her way to speak to staff each day to make them feel welcomed. Our students love Mrs. Bobo because she builds and nurtures strong relationships with them. She has such fun, engaging and innovative ideas--and the students love participating in her lessons. Mrs. Bobo is one of the most deserving teachers I have ever worked with, and I am thrilled that she is representing Davidson Elementary as our Teacher of the Year!”
Congratulations, Mrs. Bobo—and thank you for your faithful years of service to the students of the Water Valley School District!
WVHS is thrilled to have selected Coach Vaughn as the 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year. Coach Daniels has been teaching for 15 years. He started WVHS first powerlifting teams where multiple state championships happened as well as horth half champs and a state champion runner up. Vaughn coached football 13 years, including the 2018 state championship team. He was chosen as the 2024 Star Teacher.

Vaughn is a pillar in our community as a Sunday School Teacher, Vice President of the Northwest District Livestock Association, and a volunteers his time wherever needed. He and wife Courtney along with their son Wyatt enjoy raising and showing cattle.
Coach Daniels is the kind of teacher who will jump in to help do whatever is needed. He is a critical thinker, problem solver, and has a way of reaching ALL students and connect with them on a personal level. Coach Daniels is the kind of educator, role model, and mentor who goes above and beyond for our students. Some words to describe him are: passionate, professional, genuine, unwavering, patient, compassionate and encouraging. Coach Daniels always has a life lesson for students which always includes a story. He cultivates and ensures that every student feels seen, heard, and hi students excel in the classroom with top US History State Test Scores. When observing in his classroom, lessons are always engaging, relevant, meaningful, and relayed in a way that students can relate.
Dr. Person stated: From my personal testimony, Coach Daniels has helped in more ways than I can count. He never asks why are we doing it this way, but simply says I can help you with that or just let me know what you need. He also has a way of knowing if my plate is stacked high or I need a “story” to encourage me. Thank you Coach for going the extra mile for our students, schools, district and community. I can’t wait to see where leadership takes you and profound effect you will have on a larger scale.
Congratulations to our Teachers of the Year and THANK YOU for your ongoing dedication to the students of Water Valley School District.

Our 5th grade students who scored Proficient and Advanced on their 3rd 9 Weeks Science Test were rewarded today with an unforgettable adventure at the Balloon Quest — a hands-on, science-based, escape-room-style experience!
Students took a simulated hot-air balloon journey through six immersive ecosystems, solving puzzles using QR codes, VR, AR, and NFC technology. They accessed lockboxes, created a tsunami, escaped a tornado, and even discovered a secret room!
From crossing a rope bridge over a canyon to encountering an animatronic alligator in a swamp, our students worked as a team, strengthened their problem-solving skills, and had a blast while diving deeper into science.
We’re so proud of their hard work and achievement. Way to go, 5th grade! Keep soaring!
