Mrs. Igoe? Mrs. Sharp? One might say, “Who’s that?” But truly, who are they? Get to know our newest assistant principals.
Mrs. Sharp’s a strong leader, and a proud mother of her 6 month old baby girl. She had always aspired to be a teacher, which she’s done for the last 8 years at multiple elementary schools.
“I decided on this job because it’s a combination of my two favorite things, education and leadership,” she stated. Sharp has always been a dedicated student. She attended Bishop Gorman High School where she was involved in student council, continuing her STUCO journey into college at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) for her undergrad and UNLV for her master’s degree. Therefore, she encourages students not to be ‘too cool for school’. “Get involved,” she incentivized. “Try out interesting-looking events. Make the most of high school, and try to enjoy every day.”
Mrs. Sharp was born and raised here in Boulder City, making her very involved in our community. She also loves attending all types of sports games, and is very supportive of her students.
Mrs. Igoe, however, grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and moved to the Vegas area in July of this year. She loves all sports, but has a specific interest in one. Back in California, Igoe played basketball in college, and therefore plans to closely follow and aid the girls basketball team.
Her advice for all of us is simple, and straightforward. “Be kind,” she said, without hesitation. This is her 25th year in education, 15 of which she spent teaching for high school, and she believes kindness is of utmost importance. Having raised two kids of her own, one being 18 and one being 23, Igoe is very patient and understanding when it comes to teenagers.
“…and then one day, this popped up! I just looked at everything, and I got so excited. It reminded me of where I was coming from, but it’s different, and new,”. She’s found over time that she especially loves working at high schools, and she’s looking forward to seeing what it’s like here in Boulder City.
Remember to give them a warm welcome when you see them in hallways, or at sports events.
