Leadership Team

John, Vaglienty, Principal

Vaglienty is no stranger to Tomball ISD, having served the students at Tomball High School as the Associate Principal of Curriculum & Instruction since 2018. Prior to that role, he joined TISD as the Associate Principal at Tomball Memorial High School in 2017.

He brings 19 years of experience to education and has served in a campus administrative role since 2006. Vaglienty began his education career as a Special Education teacher and coach at Watkins Middle School in Cy-Fair ISD from 2001 to 2006. He then joined that campus administrative team as Assistant Principal and served in that role from 2006 to 2009.

He continued as an Assistant Principal at Arnold Middle School in Cy-Fair ISD from 2009 to 2011 before becoming an Assistant Principal (2012 to 2015) and a Curriculum Principal (2015 to 2017) at Nimitz High school in Aldine ISD before landing in Tomball.

“My previous junior high experience allowed me to build a passion for this age group of students and to serve as a role model for students as they transition into high school,” Vaglienty said. “I look forward to supporting student and teacher growth and serving an amazing school community in Creekside Park Junior High.”

Vaglienty earned his Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Houston and his Master of Education in Administration from Sam Houston State University.

“Tomball ISD is a special place to work because of the students, great teachers, a super supportive community, and amazing innovative leaders at all levels that passionately care about students and I look forward to the opportunity to lead the CPJH campus.”

Natalie Priwer, Assistant Principal

Ms. Priwer graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2006 earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Math Education. She has served in education for over 13 years in several roles, beginning as an upper level mathematics teacher, before moving into a Math Skills Specialist role and eventually becoming an Assistant Principal in 2015 in a neighboring district. She received her Master’s Degree in Education Administration from Stephen F. Austin State University. In 2018, she joined Tomball ISD as an Assistant Principal at Tomball Memorial High School. In the beginning of 2020, she prepared for the opening of the Academy of Energy and International Business in Tomball ISD, but due to unfortunate circumstances with BJ Services, that program has been put on hold.

The Creekside Park staff is excited to welcome Ms. Priwer to our family as she has proven experience as an innovative campus leader and will immediately add depth to the already-strong CPJH staff.

He received his Bachelors Degree in Secondary Mathematics Education from Mayville State University and his Masters Degree in Education Administration from Sam Houston State University. “Mr. G” is excited to be a part of CPJH and looks forward to working with students, parents, and the community.
