Mr. Sharp

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

My name is David Sharp. I am excited about this school year, and I am excited to join your community! This will be my 16th year as an educator with FWISD. I began my career by teaching Social Studies and coaching football at Rosemont Middle School before becoming an administrator at J.P. Elder. I am an alumnus of Paschal High School and the University of Texas at Arlington, where I earned an undergraduate degree in American History and a graduate degree in Educational Leadership.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, a Registered Nurse, and my two sons. I also enjoy listening to vinyl records, watching baseball, and jogging. I am a lifelong resident of Fort Worth; I have a passion for working with young people and for my city. My goal is to teach students how to make positive decisions that will prepare them for the future.
