Today, Richmond County Public Schools announces the retirement of Superintendent Dr. Bernard S. “Trey” Davis III, effective August 1, 2026, after 31 years of dedicated service in public education. Dr. Davis shared the announcement during the May 18 School Board meeting, reflecting on a career built on leadership, service, and a deep commitment to students, staff, families, and the Richmond County community.

“While there is always more work to be done, I am profoundly proud of what we have achieved together,” said Davis. “It has been a true honor to serve the students, staff, and families of this remarkable county.”

Throughout his career, Dr. Davis has served in numerous educational leadership roles, including teacher, coach, athletic director, assistant principal, principal, educational supervisor, and superintendent. His leadership has helped strengthen Richmond County Public Schools while fostering a culture centered on relationships, collaboration, and student success.

“Relationships are the foundation of great schools,” Davis said. “I’m most proud of the collaborative culture we built with our principals, staff, county partners, and community. We are a small division that accomplishes extraordinary things in the classroom, on the field, and in the community.”

Richmond County Public Schools extends its sincere gratitude to Dr. Trey Davis for his years of leadership, dedication, and service to public education. His impact on the students, staff, and families of Richmond County will be lasting and deeply appreciated.

Dr. Davis will truly be missed, and we wish him nothing but happiness and success in his retirement.
