In addition, your application will automatically carry over for the National College Match when you’re a senior, giving you a head start on applying for a full four-year scholarship to our college partners.

Dear DVS Family,
I am writing today to let you know that I will be resigning as principal of Da Vinci Science at the end of this 2021-22 academic year. I love our school and have tremendous gratitude for the opportunity I’ve had to be a part of our founding and growth from our humble beginning in 2009 to the fantastic school we are today. I will miss the excitement and adventure of leading this magnificent DVS family and the energy and creativity of our wonderful students and incredible staff. This has been the best job I’ve ever had and I will be leaving with a heart full of gratitude for this chapter of my journey.
I love being a part of the Da Vinci Schools organization and the Wiseburn community. Serving as principal of DVS has been the highlight of my career and I am profoundly grateful for the trust that the community, the Da Vinci Schools leaders, and the Board of Trustees have given me to lead and learn and grow in my time in this role. I look forward to supporting the DVS family with a thoughtful and intentional plan for setting up the new leadership of DVS for continued success!
Sincerely,
Steve
