FBISD board of trustees appoints 4 new principals at elementary, middle schools

The Fort Bend ISD board of trustees has appointed four new principals to lead elementary and middle schools in the district.

During its May 9 meeting, the board unanimously approved appointing Jonathan Sutton, Kyella Griffin, Anitra Wilson and Gregory Foulds as principals of Briargate Elementary School, Crockett Middle School, Rosa Parks Elementary School and Schiff Elementary School, respectively, according to a May 9 news release from the school district.

Sutton comes to the district after working to train and educate children over a two-decade span as a behavior specialist, a teacher, an assistant principal and his current role as a principal in Galena Park ISD, according to the release.

Griffin, meanwhile, holds more than a decade of campus administration experience in Fort Bend ISD as an assistant principal at Holley Elementary School and currently as the principal at Dulles Elementary School.

Wilson will come to Rosa Parks Elementary School with 18 years of experience as a teacher, a curriculum builder, a professional development leader and a principal in Lamar CISD.

Foulds will come on as principal of Schiff Elementary School with more than 20 years of experience in education, including more than 10 years in Fort Bend ISD as an assistant principal at Lake Olympia, Dulles and Sartartia middle schools.

“We are fortunate to have educators with these distinguished credentials and experience as new campus leaders at our schools,” FBISD Superintendent Christie Whitbeck said in the news release. “We are confident they will do great work on behalf of each and every student to ensure our children continue to recover from learning loss and go on to achieve goals beyond what they can imagine.”

All appointments are effective July 1, according to the district.
