Inducted Class of 2019
Carol Davis spent over 22 years as the secretary to the Athletic Director at Geneva High School. During that time, she was a source of stability and trust for the athletic directors, a mentor, and a resource for coaches and teachers, and a friend and leader to the students at Geneva High. According to the former athletic director, Randy Grenier, “Without Carol, all that we have done could not have been possible. Honestly, she has been my mentor, and it has been a privilege to work with her and to know her. She could be AD.”
As Carol puts it, “It has been incredibly rewarding to work here. The kids are everything. I don’t know if people realize just how much teachers and coaches do for them.” And people do not realize how much Carol Davis did in her role. The athletic department works with over twenty sports programs and supports hundreds of athletes. From cancellations to schedules, to working with officials, Carol Davis was a source of stability and trust during her tenure. Carol retired as secretary to the Athletic Director in December of 2018.
In addition to her work for the District, Carol was secretary and treasurer for the Finger Lakes High School Athletic Association. She was presented with the New York State Athletic Administrators Judith Martens Secretarial Award for Excellence in 2013. A Geneva native, Carol graduated from DeSales High School in 1975. Carol lives in Geneva with her husband, Carl. They have two grown children, Christen Davis and Joseph (Tara) Davis; both are graduates of Geneva High School and four grandsons.
