Hi, I’m David Siever, and I’m proud to serve as one of the Assistant Principals at Carroll-Oakland School. I love living in and serving the same community that I get to work in each day. I’ve been part of Wilson County Schools for more than five years and feel lucky to work alongside such dedicated teachers and families.

I graduated from Cumberland University and have a strong passion for education and leadership. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Mary Kathryn, who teaches in Lebanon Special School District, and cheering on my favorite soccer teams. I’m grateful to be part of the Carroll-Oakland family and am committed to helping every student and teacher reach their fullest potential.
