Dr. Alex Davis, Principal
Greetings NES Eagles,
It is an honor to serve as principal at Northcutt Elementary. I have 16 years of experience in the public school sector ranging from teacher, Academic Coach, Assistant Principal, and principal. I am a native of Madison, GA. I graduated from The University of West Georgia in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Middle Grades Education. I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching from Piedmont College in 2012. I earned my Specialist in Educational Leadership from Georgia College & State University in 2014, and I earned my Educational Doctorate from Kennesaw State University in 2020.
Serving as the principal at Northcutt Elementary is an honor and privilege that I am elated to take on. My passion for education shows in my actions as a positive, innovative leader geared towards increasing academic achievement and exposing our scholars to greatness. I encourage all stakeholders to join the NES family as we work together to create an environment for our scholars that is supportive, warm, welcoming, and rigorous.
Our slogan for this year is "Together We Can Soar to Success." This year, we aim to collaborate, communicate, and cultivate (3 C's to Success) a new culture focused on student academic achievement.
Sincerely,
Dr. Alex Davis

Assistant Principal
Mary Nelson, Assistant Principal
I’m Mrs. Nelson, your proud Eagle Assistant Principal. I’m honored to begin my third year serving in this role, and my 17th year in education. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in Texas, Louisiana, and right here in the great state of Georgia. I’ve worked with students in special education, early intervention, and general education from Kindergarten through fifth grade—and one truth has never changed: every child is a genius in their own way.
I believe deeply that every student can learn and grow, and that strong partnerships with families and our community are the key to student success. Together, we will continue to help our scholars at G.W. Northcutt Elementary School SOAR to Success.
Here’s to making the 2025–2026 school year our best yet!
Go Eagles!
