Principal - Ollie Clark

Dear J.W. Bishop Elementary Community,

I am honored to serve as the Principal of J.W. Bishop Elementary. I am eager to continue to serve the students of Everman and look forward to having your child back in school. I enjoy working with the dynamic staff, dedicated parents and involved community members at Bishop. Most of all, I embrace working with our students and continuing the outstanding work at J.W. Bishop Elementary.

This will be my 19th year in the Everman Independent School District and 11th year as an administrator.  Prior to my service as an administrator, I served as a Special Education teacher for eight years at J.W. Bishop Elementary. Prior to that, I taught at-risk students at Boys Town in Nebraska for 5 years.

J.W. Bishop Elementary has a history of people with a strong work ethic and dedication to student success. I will continue to build on what everyone has worked so hard to achieve, and to use that strong foundation to take J.W. Bishop Elementary to the next level.  I am proud of the efforts of our teachers and parents to ensure education continues for our students through any challenge. With the support of the community and staff, I will always strive to provide a safe place for your child with an atmosphere of high expectations and genuine care. Together we will continue to provide outstanding educational opportunities and academic excellence for all of our students. 

On a personal note, I have lived in the area for most of my life. My wife Amanda, is a school counselor and my daughter, Olivia is doing her Vet Tech internship. I am a big sports fan, and always root for the Cowboys and Bulldogs. I love to travel and spend time with my family.

As part of my regular routine, you will find me out and about on campus during morning arrivals, afternoon dismissals, and throughout the day. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to build upon my relationships with the students, staff, and families of the J.W. Bishop Elementary community. I can be reached via email at oclark@eisd.org or just stop by to introduce yourself any time, as my door is always open to you.

Sincerely,

Ollie Clark

Principal, J.W. Bishop Elementary
