Danville Community School District is excited to welcome David Earhart as our new Elementary Principal for the 2025-2026 school year! 🐻 Hello Danville! I am thrilled to join the Danville Community as the next elementary principal! I am from the area, growing up in Burlington but currently live in Mount Pleasant with my wife Brittany who is a first-grade teacher, and our son, Wyatt. We are also expecting our second son in May! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors whether I’m hunting, fishing, or taking my dog for a walk. Education has always been a passion of mine and something I have felt was my calling. I got into education because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of students. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Quincy University and a Master’s in Ed Leadership from UNI. My career began at Evans Middle School in Ottumwa and for the past four years, I have been teaching in Mediapolis. In the classroom, I have always had a passion for building positive connections with students and finding innovative ways to help kids achieve higher levels of growth and achievement. I was drawn to Danville because of the success of the district as well as the sense of pride and support from the community. As a leader in Danville, I am committed to serving the students, staff, and community through open communication and constant collaboration to promote growth so that Danville remains a great place for kids to learn! I’m excited to begin this new journey and can’t wait to get to know the great people that make Danville such a strong community! Thank you! David Earhart Please join us in giving Mr. Earhart a warm Bear Nation welcome! #BearNation #WeAreDanville
