        All had been hoped that the Los Ebanos School would be ready for occupancy in September 1932, there was a delay in the building schedule and Los Ebanos School was finally occupied in January 1933.  Mrs. Mabel Spikes was the first principal and remained so until 1940 or 1941, at which time Mrs. Kathryn Burns became principal until 1946.  These two ladies were followed by Mrs. Alyff Todd 1946-48, Mrs. Cayborne Norris 1948-1949, Mr. James Webb 1949-50, Mr. Tom Keller 1950-52, Mr. Bruce Aiken 1952-54.  Through this time, the school building consisted of only eight rooms.

         While  Mrs. Sharp was principal from 1953-63, four more rooms and an auditorium were added to the school.  Upon her retirement in 1963, the school was renamed "Gertrude M. Sharp Elementary" in her honor. Since 1963, Six more principals and many more classrooms have been added to the school.  A new mini gym and a canopy  was built over the black top, has helped out students and teachers participating in physical education.  The New Wing Building was build in 2004, for Pre-Kinder, Kinder, Music, Nurse and Content Mastery.


 Mrs. Jean B. Eckhoff was school principal from 1963-74, Mr. J.D. Osborn 1974-94, Mr. Henry Kenneson 1994-98,  Mrs. G. Gracia 1998-2000,  Dr. Irene Guille, as Intrim Principal from 2001-2002, Mrs. Teri Alarcón 2003-2005,  Mr. Mario A. Rodriguez 2005-2007, Mrs. Karin Trevino 2008-2010, and presently Mrs. Sandra K. Cortez.

      The school building and faculty may have changed over the years but Sharp stills maintains a tenor of excellence that was begun over sixty years ago.
