Vernon L.
Davey Junior High School
Classes opened at Vernon L. Davey Junior High School
in September, 1930, making it the first new public school
in the city since Washington School was constructed in
1912.
The school was named after former Schools'
Superintendent Vernon L. Davey, whose tenure spanned the
turn of the century and ended with his retirement in
1912.
The ninth grade classes at VLD were transferred to
the high school in 1954, and the school served seventh
and eighth grade pupils until 1995. Then the school was
renamed Cicely Tyson School of Performing and Fine Arts,
serving grades 6-12.
