Mrs. Renae Enlow
Welcome to Byrd Elementary School. I am excited to work with the students, parents, teachers, and staff in making our school a safe and nurturing, learning environment. As I begin my 34th year in education, my passion to serve the community in which I was raised and educated continues to drive what I do each day.
I am a product of the Aiken County school system and attended Area 3 schools at Langley Elementary, LBC Middle and Midland Valley High. I obtained my B.A. in elementary education from the University of South at Aiken in 1989 and a M.Ed. in elementary education from the University of South Carolina in Columbia in 2004. Later in 2014, I obtained my elementary administration certification from the University of South Carolina as well. Previously, I served as the assistant principal at Greendale Elementary in New Ellenton, S.C. I began my teaching career at Jefferson Elementary in Bath, S.C., where I remained for 25 years. I taught first grade for 10 years as well as Reading Recovery and fourth grade for 14 years. My last year at JES, I served as the Read to Succeed literacy coach.
I have extensive background in early literacy. I believe if we build a strong foundation in early literacy skills, the need for intervention later will be less likely. As we build that strong foundation, I want students to also grow in a love for reading. Former First Lady Jackie Kennedy once said, "There are many ways to enlarge a child's world. A love of books is best of all."
I am married to Richard Enlow (Richie) and we have two grown children, Derek and Morgan, who also are proud Midland Valley graduates. We welcomed our first granchild, Molly June in August 2021. We attend Langley Church of God and have proudly served the Midland Valley community through our church and MVRA as coaches for football, baseball, and cheerleading. It is an honor and a privilege for us to serve our Midland Valley community that we so dearly love.
Each new school year brings changes and we have faced so many in the last few years. But, day in and day out, our faculty, staff, and students know their job and do it well.

Mr. Kyle Davis
Welcome to Byrd Elementary! I am excited to be returning to the team of students, parents, teachers, and staff that make Byrd Elementary one of the best schools in Aiken County.
I am originally a Louisiana native and recently moved to the CSRA with my spouse, who is the new CEO at Shepeard Community Blood Center in Augusta, GA. We are very excited to be living,working, and serving the members of the CSRA.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree from Northwestern State University in 2008, a Master of Arts Degree from Louisiana Tech University in 2011, and completed my plus thirty at the University of Louisiana at Monroe in 2021. I completed my school administrator certification in 2021.
I began my career in public education 11 years ago. I've taught first, second, fourth, and fifth grades and was rated a highly effective ELA and Social Studies teacher. After leaving the classroom, I spent 3 years as an educational leader at a top performing elementary school in Louisiana. I have an extensive background in supporting teachers with curriculum, instruction, data analysis, and assessment. I have training in the Science of Reading and have helped many students discover their hidden love of reading. Literacy for all is a passion that is near to my heart. I enjoy making learning fun for our teachers and students. I'm sure you've already heard about the costumes that we wear on a regular basis.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling, exercising my two Weimaraners, Jager and Gunther, scuba diving, playing tennis, and running/hiking. I look forward to working with our community to strengthen Byrd and to help us continue to be the best place to work and learn.
