Welcome Nick “A.D.” Davidson, New WDV Athletics Director

We are thrilled to welcome Nick “A.D.” Davidson to the team as Director of Wiseburn Da Vinci Athletics.
 
Nick has over 20 years of experience as an athletic director, coach, teacher, trainer, and mentor. Nick joins at an exciting time for the Wiseburn Da Vinci Athletics program as the WDV Wolves moved to the Pioneer League in 2022-23, which now offers Da Vinci student-athletes a more competitive experience, more consistent game schedules, additional team levels, shorter travel times, and more. With 30 teams participating in 12 CIF sports, student-athletes from all Da Vinci high schools come together to play collectively as the Wiseburn Da Vinci Wolves. WDV Athletics also offers two non-CIF sports.
 
Nick was selected from a pool of 48 candidates. The top candidates were interviewed by a joint Wiseburn Da Vinci Interview Panel comprised of Wiseburn and Da Vinci administrators, community members, and coaches.
 
“Nick offers a wealth of experience to lead our athletics department and community into the future. We are tremendously excited to have Nick join our team,” shares Dr. Matthew Wunder, Da Vinci’s CEO/Superintendent.
 
Prior to Da Vinci, Nick served as athletic director at Alain Locke College Preparatory Academy, Ribet Academy School, and New Roads School. Most recently, he worked with the City of Pasadena in the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department as a program and recreation site coordinator. He currently serves as a senior lead trainer for Positive Coaching Alliance, where he’s conducted 500+ workshops for leaders, coaches, parents, and student-athletes. Nick also has extensive community involvement through the BOSS Program, Black Women for Wellness, L.A. Watts Summer Games, Youth Mentoring Connection, the Special Olympics, and more.
 
As the Wiseburn Da Vinci Athletics program continues to grow, so does the excitement among our students. We look forward to the awesome experiences and achievements that await students under Nick’s guidance.

Nathanael is also now the school record holder in the 3 mile!

Congratulations Team on your efforts this season in the Pioneer League.

Congratulations to our Women’s Volleyball Team debuting in the Pioneer League this fall season! We are proud that two of the Varsity girls earned a spot on the competitive Pioneer League 2nd Team and one of our athletes won a spot on the Pioneer League 1st Team. Our Division 7 team held their own against some tough D2 & D3 teams. We are hoping to learn from this year’s high level of play and earn a spot in playoffs next season. We ended our season with a close fight against El Segundo (20-25, 20-25, 25-23, 32-34).

Thank you all for supporting all of our athletes by attending and cheering at the games. Thank you for your participation and support in our Athletic Team fundraisers and donations!

Go Wolves!

D.R. Moreland Named as New Wiseburn Da Vinci Athletics Director

We are excited to announce that Donald “D.R.” Moreland has been named Athletics Director of the Wiseburn Da Vinci Athletics Program. D.R. assumed his duties last week.  

D.R. has more than 20 years of experience as an administrator, athletics director, and passionate educator specializing in youth development, managing relationships across diverse populations highlighting community involvement, and a commitment to academic and athletic achievement.
 
Prior to Da Vinci, D.R. was the Athletic Director at La Cañada High School. He also served in several roles at San Marino High School as Athletic Director, Assistant Principal, Head Varsity Coach & Physical Education Teacher. D.R. has extensive experience with C.I.F. rules and regulations. 
 
“We are tremendously excited to have D.R. join our team. He has a wealth of experience to lead our athletics department and community into the future,” said Dr. Matthew Wunder, Da Vinci’s CEO/Superintendent. Tori Grafeman, Interim Athletics Director, did a wonderful job in her role and continues to be a highly valued member of the Da Vinci organization.
 
D.R. is coming at an exciting time for the Wiseburn Da Vinci Athletics Program which has been given the green light by the CIF Southern Section Executive Committee to move from Small Schools Area 9 to Coast Area 2, paving the way for re-leaguing which will place WDV in a league within the South Bay Athletic Association.  This move will benefit our student-athletes by providing a more competitive experience, more consistent game schedules, additional team levels, shorter travel times, and more.
 
D.R. was born and raised in Southern California graduating from San Marino High School. He attended Menlo College where he played football for four years and earned a B.A. in Communications. He holds a single subject teaching credential in Physical Education and an administrative credential both from the University of La Verne.
 
D.R. was selected from a pool of 72 candidates. Seven applicants were chosen to move forward in the screening process. The top four candidates were interviewed by a joint Wiseburn Da Vinci Interview Panel comprised of Wiseburn and Da Vinci administrators, Wiseburn community members who are parents with students attending both Wiseburn and Da Vinci schools, student-athletes, and coaches. We are deeply grateful to our panel members, as well as to Wiseburn Superintendent Dr. Blake Silvers for his athletic director expertise and for helping us through this process. 
 
Welcome, D.R.!
