Our Teachers

Mrs. David

Hello, my name is Nancy David. This is my third year teaching at Vaughan and my seventeenth year of teaching in Cobb County. Previously I taught kindergarten and K-1 multiage at Powder Springs Elementary. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Kennesaw State University in 1990. Before I began my teaching career I was a mental health counselor for the state of Georgia.

I was born in Granite City, Illinois but moved around quite frequently due to my father’s work. I have lived in Illinois, Virginia, Ohio, and Georgia. I firmly consider Georgia my home state. I moved here in 1977 and fell in love with “southern hospitality”. My family lived in Cedartown where I met my husband Clay. We were high school sweethearts and have been married for 26 years. Clay is a CPA in Marietta with the firm Cain & David. We have two sons, Clay Jr. age 24 and Justin age 22. Clay Jr. is a senior at West Georgia College studying political science and Justin recently graduated from North Georgia College with a degree in accounting. Right now we are all very busy preparing for Justin's wedding on August 1st. We also have a very energetic golden retriever named Jursie and a loveable cat named Rudy.

I love to play tennis! It is my one excuse to get outside and spend time with friends. I am very involved at my church with our special needs ministry. My husband and I love to travel when we have the opportunity.

Mrs. Sharp

I too am beginning my third year at Vaughan Elementary. I began my teaching career in 1983 after graduating from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. Once I graduated, I married and moved with my husband, Alan, to Leesville, Louisiana, where he was stationed as an infantry officer at Fort Polk. While there, I taught kindergarten until we moved to Augusta, Georgia and I taught 1st and 2nd grade.

In 1987, my son, Casey, was born and in 1990, my daughter, Emily was born. I stayed home with them until Emily was in the second grade. We moved to Powder Springs in 1994 and my children attended Varner. Casey is now a junior at UGA and Emily is a freshman at Gainsville State. My husband started his own sports marketing company in 2001 called "SharpEdge Ventures". I taught kindergarten and K-1 multiage at Powder Springs Elementary prior to coming to Vaughan.

I love to read and garden and do yoga. I enjoy working with children and count it a privilege to teach them to read. It is so exciting to see them grow and change!
