About Us

Located in the Madero community in Fort Worth, Dr. Leigh Anne Romer Elementary School will open in August 2026. The school will feature the district’s current elementary design focused on collaborative spaces, community atmosphere and easy navigation.

The school’s namesake, Dr. Leigh Anne Romer, served as the longtime principal of J.C. Thompson Elementary School in the Sendera Ranch community, which borders the Madero development. Students, parents and staff remember Dr. Romer as a relentless advocate for children who fostered a positive culture in her school that made all students feel cared for.

In addition to her role supporting students, Dr. Romer served as a mentor for educators across Northwest ISD. Many of her former staff members went on to assume leadership roles at other schools or within the district offices.
