Hello, I am Jennifer Petru, and I have been dedicated to education and to Fort Bend ISD for 18 years in both middle and high school. My degrees are from Texas State (Eat Em’ up Cats!) and the University of Houston. I love spending time with my family and I have two amazing daughters.

I value the strong partnerships Thornton has with the community and parents to provide the best educational experience for the students. I am committed to the District's mission to inspire and equip students to pursue futures beyond what they can imagine. I believe in the importance of an engaging and supportive climate focused on student learning.  

Fort Bend ISD has the best and most diverse community in Texas! Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving your families as the Principal of Thornton Middle School!

Thunder PRIDE never dies!

I am proud and grateful to be the Assistant Principal at Ronald Thornton Middle School. I am honored to embark upon my role and I look forward to assisting RTMS with all its great ideas and initiatives.

My role is to build relationships with all the Thundercat stakeholders and to help support our academic work. It is my philosophy that at the center of student achievement are the efforts of parents, teachers and students. My intention is to make sure that I can foster each of these as I support the mission of Fort Bend Independent School District. 

I have lived most of my life in Missouri City and have never wanted to leave this special area. My educational experiences have inspired me to be an educator. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University and accepted my first teaching position as a 6^th grade teacher in Fort Bend. During my tenure I have served as a Physical Education, middle school science teacher, PALS and AVID teacher; Department Chair; and Master Science Teacher.  In 2018, I earned my master’s in educational administration from Texas Southern University. My decision to become an administrator came from a desire to make a positive impact on all students across the school.  

I’m eagerly anticipating working with the students, staff and parents and to take part in the phenomenal growth at Ronald Thornton Middle School. I look forward to getting this year off to a superb start!

I am very excited about the opportunity to serve Ronald Thornton Middle School as an Assistant Principal. The last three years at RTMS as a teacher and Technology Integration Champion has allowed me to build meaningful relationships with students, parents, and the amazing staff. I look forward to the opportunities ahead as we continue the mission and vision of RTMS and FBISD.
