David Hicks

Principal

I joined the RHS faculty in 2006-2007 after serving 10 years as the principal of Polk Middle School in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD and Colleyville Middle School in the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD. Before that time, I was an assistant principal at Newman Smith HS and a history teacher at Blalack and DeWitt Perry Middle Schools, also in C-FB ISD.

Ranchview High School is a wonderful place where students are challenged to be their best everyday. We provide a rich, engaging, and academically challenging curriculum, outstanding performing arts groups, competitive athletic teams and many high interest student clubs. As principal, it is my mission to create and support a culture in which all students graduate prepared to be successful in meeting the challenges they will face in college and in the workforce. I am dedicated to knowing our students as individual young adults and to supporting and recognizing their efforts to excel in the classroom, on the field, and on stage.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and attending professional sporting events – especially the Texas Rangers! Currently, I am on a lifelong quest to travel to all of the major league ballparks, especially before each of the classic stadiums gets rebuilt

I am excited to be your principal and I am looking forward to a great school year!
