Construction Continues On FBISDs Thornton Elementary

SUGAR LAND, TX — Construction crews are making steady progress on Ronald Thornton Middle School in the Sienna Plantation community.

The school is scheduled to open in Fall 2018 and will welcome an estimated 1,200 students in grades 6-8.

Ronald Thornton Middle School is designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) certified level.

Future Thornton “Thundercats” will be pleased to know that construction is on schedule. Construction crews are currently installing drywall, windows, plumbing, and mechanical and electrical material, as well as painting interior walls.

In December 2016, FBISD’s Board of Trustees approved the school’s name – Ronald Thornton Middle School – in honor of Ronald Thornton, an inspirational Willowridge High School band director.

Colleagues and friends described the educator as an exemplar of honor, pride, discipline and excellence.

“I am excited about opening Ronald Thornton Middle School in August 2018, and look forward to meeting the members of our RTMS family,” said Principal Jeanna Sniffin.
