Midway ISD has named Jennifer Martin as its new Director of Fine Arts, bringing extensive experience in music education, program leadership, and statewide advocacy to the role.
“Mrs. Martin is an exceptional leader with a deep understanding of both instruction and program development,” said Superintendent Dr. Allen. “Her passion for fine arts and her commitment to students will continue to elevate opportunities for our learners across Midway ISD.”
Martin currently serves as an Orchestra and Mariachi Specialist for Fort Worth ISD, where she supports program development, teacher coaching, recruitment, and large-scale event coordination. In this role, she has helped strengthen instructional practices, expand student opportunities, and elevate the visibility of fine arts programs across the district.
“I’m extremely thrilled and honored to come back to Midway, where I started my career,” Mrs. Martin said. “Midway is second to none in providing first-class education to students, including in arts education. I’m excited to join in supporting teachers and create amazing experiences for students.”
A respected leader in the field, Martin also serves as President of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA), representing more than 17,000 members statewide and helping guide the organization’s strategic vision, policy development, and professional learning.
Martin brings both administrative and classroom experience to Midway. She previously led successful orchestra programs at multiple campuses, including in Midway ISD, where she served as Head Orchestra Director at both Midway High School and Midway Middle School. During her tenure, student groups consistently earned UIL Sweepstakes awards and statewide recognition.
Martin holds a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Bachelor of Music Education from Baylor University.
She will begin her role with Midway ISD this summer.
