My name is David Nolen.  I am a native of Mississippi.  Being raised in Benton County, I graduated from Ashland High School in 1990.  I am a military veteran.  I am a firm believer in lifelong learning and education.  I am a 2008 and 2012 graduate of Tennessee Temple University with my B.S. and M.Ed.  I completed an M.A.T. from Belhaven University in 2017.  Currently, I am working toward my Ed.D. Organizational Leadership through National University (Formerly Northcentral). Being an experienced educator since 2009, I  joined the Overton High team and family last school year.  As a member of the Social Studies Department teaching World History.  This school year I have been honored to serve as an ILT member as the Social Social Department Chair.  I will be teaching both World History and Pre-AP World History.   I firmly believe in the innate ability of every student to learn and grow.  I look forward to guiding each student to reach his/her fullest potential.

To this end, I welcome your calls and visits.  My planning time at the school is during the 4th period in room 407.  If you ever need to reach me with any school work or other school-related concerns after normal school hours, please feel free to call me.  My cell phone number is (901)489-9622.  You may call me until 9:00 p.m. on any given day.
