Blazing a Trail with June W. Davis

As the first African American to serve on the Crowley ISD Board of Trustees, June W. Davis has been a trailblazer since being elected in May 2003. She was named board secretary from 2005-2007, elected vice president in 2007 and served in that role until August 2010 when she was elected president. A veteran educator for more than 30 years, Davis believes education opens doors for students and can play an important role in their income-earning potential, helping break the cycle of poverty. To celebrate Black History Month, Crowley ISD Connections sat down with Davis to discuss her life experiences and her reaction to having a CISD school named in her honor.
