Principal Jose Vega

My educational journey started as a teacher and coach in Bryan-College Station 15 years ago. I’ve served in multiple roles as an administrator in RISD for the last 7 years.  After the 2017-2018 year at West, I served as an Assistant Principal at Richardson High School for three years.  During that time I supported the freshmen class, the math department, CTE, the RHS Magnet programs, and many other areas.  Most recently, I was the principal at Moss Haven Elementary in the Lake Highlands Learning Community for three years.

My family and I have lived and raised our kids in Richardson for the past 9 years.  All three of my children currently attend MST in RISD. I went to college at Texas A&M University, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in history and my master’s degree in Instruction and Curriculum Development.

My passion lies in fostering academic growth and building relationships within our school community. I look forward to meeting with the RWJH staff, community, and students to establish strong relationships and work together toward a bright future.
