Hello Riverside, my name is David Sharp. I am excited about this school year, and I am excited to join your community! This will be my 15^th 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 a bachelor's degree in American History and a master's degree in Educational Leadership.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, a Registered Nurse, and my 2 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. I aim to teach students how to make positive decisions that will prepare them for the future. Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
