Mr. David Espinosa is a lifelong resident of Grand Prairie and a product of GPISD. He attended Bonham Elementary School, Lee Middle School, and graduated from Grand Prairie High School.  His three older brothers also graduated from Grand Prairie High School, as well as his niece and nephews. David’s mother worked for GPISD for 24 years in the ESL department as a paraprofessional. Born from immigrant parents, David is a first generation Mexican-American and he believes GPISD paved the way for him. He attended and graduated from Mountain View Community College and received his B.A. in Political Science from the University of Texas at Arlington.

David’s desire to serve on the School Board started when he worked as an International English teacher in South America. As a teacher, he learned firsthand on how hard it is for educators to work with limited resources. He has also worked as a substitute teacher for GPISD. That experience allowed him to understand the strong support teachers need from parents, as well as the Board, to provide the best opportunities for our children.

Mr. Espinosa became the youngest board member ever elected to the GPISD School Board in May 2015. He believes he is able to understand the struggles of the citizens he represents in District 5 as a Trustee on the GPISD School Board.

Mr. Espinosa was sworn in as a Texas Law Enforcement officer in 2019 and currently works as a Deputy Constable in precinct 5 in Dallas County with an intermediate level peace officer license.
