\n\tDear Parents and Family Members,

Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Migdalia Castillo to the Johns community, as the newly appointed Principal for the upcoming school year!

Wishing you a warm welcome and a wonderful start to this new journey, Mrs. Castillo!

Jaguar Strong! Jaguar Proud!Big congratulations to our newest Arlington ISD principals! \ud83c\udf89

Tonight we celebrated Migdalia Castillo, Dr. Thomas Flagg, and Jerod Zahn as they step into their new leadership roles.

Migdalia Castillo brings more than two decades of educational experience and a strong commitment to student success to her new role as principal of Johns Elementary. She currently serves as principal at Blanton Elementary, where she has demonstrated strong leadership since 2023.

Dr. Thomas Flagg offers a powerful blend of instructional leadership and fine arts expertise. With nearly 20 years in education and his current role as associate principal at the Center for Visual and Performing Arts, he is well\u2011prepared to lead as principal of Gunn Junior High Fine Arts and Dual Language Academy.

Jerod Zahn brings extensive leadership experience, having served as principal at both Shackelford and Ferguson Junior High, along with multiple assistant principal and teaching roles across Arlington ISD. We\u2019re excited to welcome him as the new principal of Rodriguez Junior High.

\ud83d\udc4f We cannot wait to see everything you accomplish in these new roles, congratulations! <\/span> \t<\/span>\n\t... See More<\/span>See Less<\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>
