Rich Hill schools honor Paul and Jan Davis


Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Davis for an incredible 45 years in public education
Mr. Paul Davis taught at Rich Hill High School from the fall of 1978 until his first retirement from the district in 2011 (minus one year in 1983). He returned to Rich Hill in the fall of 2024 to help fill a vacancy, and from the very beginning, it felt as though he had never left.
Mrs. Jan Davis may not have officially spent her entire teaching career at Rich Hill, but she has certainly been part of the Rich Hill family for many years, attending countless concerts and supporting students along the way. Mrs. Davis joined Rich Hill in the fall of 2023 and has been dearly loved throughout the past three school years.
Together, they have dedicated their lives to teaching music and inspiring generations of students. Their passion, commitment, and love for education have left a lasting impact not only on our school, but also on the many students and families they have influenced over the past 45 years.
At State Music this spring, Mr. Davis shared, “I have taught most of these students’ parents.” He is absolutely right, and we are so grateful that our students have had the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by the Davis family.
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, for your years of service, dedication, and the countless memories you have created through music. Your impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.
