It is an honor to serve as the principal of Villegas Middle School, a school rooted in the values of Courage, Valor, and Honor — a legacy inspired by our namesake, Ysmael Villegas. As a Medal of Honor recipient and local hero, his story reminds us daily of the strength and potential within every student who walks through our doors.
With experience as a middle school teacher, middle school assistant principal, and most recently, a high school assistant principal, I bring a deep understanding of the academic and developmental journey our students are on. I am proud to now serve at the middle school level once again — a place where young people begin to discover who they are, what they believe in, and what they are capable of.
As a member of this community myself, I see Villegas not just as a school, but as an extension of home — a place where students are supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. Our staff is dedicated to creating an environment where every Patriot is known, valued, and inspired to achieve.
Whether you're a current family, a future Patriot, or a community member, I welcome you to Villegas Middle School. Together, we will continue to uphold our proud tradition and prepare our students for success in school and in life.
With pride and purpose,
Dan Sage
