LINCOLN COUNTY SCHOOLS NAMES VICTOR DAVID AVERY AS COORDINATOR OF ATHLETICS, SAFETY, AND CUSTODIAL SERVICES
Lincoln County Schools has named Victor David Avery as the district’s new Coordinator of Athletics, Safety, and Custodial Services, effective June 1, 2026. The position will be housed at the Lincoln County School of Technology (LCST) facility and will support schools across the district.
Avery currently serves as Athletic Director and Health/Physical Education teacher at West Lincoln High School, where he has led the school’s athletic department since 2017 and has served Lincoln County Schools as a teacher, coach, and leader for more than two decades. In his current role, he oversees athletic department operations, including budgeting, scheduling, transportation coordination, event staffing, and game-day administration, while maintaining athletic fields and facilities and ensuring compliance with NCHSAA guidelines.
In his new role, Avery will coordinate districtwide athletics while also supporting custodial services and facilities operations to help ensure safe, well-maintained learning and athletic environments for students and staff across Lincoln County Schools.
“As a Registered Athletic Administrator through the NIAAA and with nearly a decade of experience as a high school Athletic Director, Mr. Avery brings a wealth of leadership to this position,” said Eric Eaker. “Furthermore, his commitment to operational excellence is evidenced by his OSHA 10 and 30 certifications. We are confident that his background in athletics and safety compliance will be a tremendous asset to our district in this new capacity.”
Avery’s colleagues in Lincoln County Schools athletics say his leadership, work ethic, and collaborative spirit have long made him a valued partner across the district.
“Mr. Avery is a hard worker who brings years of experience to this new position,” said Chris Matile, East Lincoln High School Athletic Director. “I am confident that he will do a great job representing our school district and our sports programs. I look forward to the chance to work with him in his new role.”
“It is a pleasure to welcome Mr. Avery into this new role,” said Dennis Frye, North Lincoln High School Athletic Director. “Having worked alongside him, I know firsthand that his years of leadership will serve our district well. He has consistently been a supportive collaborator and a reliable sounding board, and I am grateful for his unwavering commitment to the athletic program offered in Lincoln County Schools.”
Avery is a graduate of Gardner-Webb University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education in 2003 and a Master of Arts in Exercise Science in 2009, both with honors. He holds numerous professional credentials, including Registered Athletic Administrator through the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA), OSHA-30 certification, and OSFM Certified Crowd Manager, reflecting his commitment to safety and operational excellence.
A lifelong member of the Lincoln County community, Avery and his wife, Abby Dellinger Avery, have been married for 23 years. Abby serves as the Director of Nursing Services with Levine Cancer Institute. Both are graduates of Lincoln County Schools and attend Mt. Vernon Baptist Church.
They have two children: Mason Avery, a student at Wingate University majoring in Education and a member of the university’s football team, and Qunilyn Avery, a senior at West Lincoln High School who plans to attend Cleveland Community College to study nursing and play basketball.
Lincoln County Schools looks forward to the leadership and experience Avery will bring to this new districtwide role as he continues serving the students, staff, and community of Lincoln County.

Meet Mrs. Katie Mullen Wise, a proud Lincoln County Schools graduate who is now a math teacher and math coach at Lincolnton High School. She attended Asbury, G.E. Massey, Pumpkin Center Elementary and Middle, and North Lincoln High, and credits several teachers for inspiring her to pursue a career in education.
Mrs. Wise says she chose to work for LCS because she enjoys serving the same community that helped shape who she is today. Her favorite part of the job is getting to know her students and helping them enjoy learning — and she especially loves seeing former students reaching their goals.
We love a full-circle moment like this.
