Johnathan Heefner Named New Principal of Aragon Middle School
Cypress-Fairbanks ISD has named Johnathan Heefner the new principal of Aragon Middle School, effective October 7. A familiar face within CFISD, Heefner brings 15 years of dedicated service to his new leadership role, all spent within the district he now proudly continues to serve.
Heefner succeeds Dirk Heath, who was recently appointed principal of Cy-Fair High School. The announcement marks a full-circle moment for Heefner, whose educational journey began in 2009 at Fiest Elementary School. From the elementary classroom to the administrative offices of one of the district’s largest high schools, Heefner has steadily risen through the ranks, shaping young lives along the way.
Most recently, he served as an assistant principal at Cypress Ranch High School, a role he held since 2021. Before that, he was both a teacher and coach at Smith Middle School, eventually becoming an assistant principal there in 2017.
