PRINCIPAL

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL / DATA

Hello Aviator Families, 

Greetings! I'm Katrina Jacobberger, your new Assistant Principal and Data Processor at Davis Middle School. Since joining the Omaha Public Schools family in 2010, my journey has been rooted in nurturing the middle school experience, both as a classroom educator and as a Gifted and Talented facilitator. My commitment to our students goes beyond the curriculum; it's about creating an environment where every young mind feels valued, secure, and ready to soar. 

I'm a proud alumna of the Omaha Public Schools (Go Vikings!) and have furthered my education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and the College of Saint Mary. I have master’s degrees in education and history; my passion for history provides me the opportunity to continue to teach American, World, and European history at the Metropolitan Community College. 

I'm truly excited to join the Davis community and am committed to making these formative middle school years enriching and memorable for all our students. 

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL / ATHLETICS & ACTIVITIES

Hello, my name is Scott Malone, and I am the Assistant Principal in charge of Activities and Athletics.  I am also one of the the 6th grade administrators.  I was born and raised in Omaha and completed my BFA and Masters programs through Creighton University.  I am proud to be entering my 26th year with the Omaha Public Schools District. This will be the 11th year I have been at Alfonza W. Davis Middle School, having been fortunate enough to help open the school up as the original Art Teacher. My murals illustrating the 6 Tuskegee Principles decorate the stairwells of the school.  I have also worked at Marrs, Morton, Parrish and Bryan High School throughout my educational career.  I coached basketball and football at Bryan and was the head basketball coach and assistant football coach at Davis.  I enjoy sports, art, music, and reading and believe there are activities for everyone to get involved in and will encourage our students to do just that.  I love watching our students learn and grow through their time at Davis.  I know this is where their futures take off!
