I am thrilled to embark on this exciting journey as your principal at Ponder Elementary School. It is a true privilege to serve the wonderful students and families of our school community.

Prior to joining PES, I had the honor of serving as the Assistant Principal at Ponder Jr. High, where I gained valuable experience and cherished memories. My time at Ponder ISD has been incredibly rewarding, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue contributing to our district's success.

I am eagerly looking forward to all the amazing things that PES will achieve in the coming years. Together, let's create a nurturing and inspiring learning environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. I am excited to partner with you on this journey of growth and achievement.

Heather Thornburg, M.Ed.

Principal, Ponder Elementary School
