Colors, mascot revealed for Dr. Leigh Anne Romer Elementary

Northwest ISD is proud to announce the official mascot and colors for Dr. Leigh Anne Romer Elementary, opening in the 2026-2027 school year in Fort Worth.

Students at Romer Elementary will be known as the Ravens, sporting purple, pink and teal. The school, funded through the 2023 bond, will become the district’s 24th elementary.

“When our district committee explored mascot options, ravens stood out for their intelligence, communication, adaptability and social nature — qualities we believe will define students at Romer Elementary,” said Kimberly Becan, NISD executive director of elementary education. “Dr. Romer is remembered for her fierce advocacy for children and her ability to cultivate a caring, positive school culture. Incorporating her favorite color, pink, felt like a meaningful way to honor her legacy.”

Mrs. Becan recalled that many staff and families wore pink at the campus groundbreaking in July to symbolize their appreciation for Dr. Romer.

Dr. Romer served as the longtime principal of J.C. Thompson Elementary and was widely regarded as a mentor to educators across the district. Many of her former staff members and those she mentored went on to assume leadership roles at other schools or district offices. 

Located in the Madero community, the new campus will feature the district’s current elementary design model, emphasizing collaborative spaces, a strong sense of community and easy navigation. A rezoning process to establish attendance boundaries is scheduled later this winter.
