My name is Martha Rocio Villarreal, and I’m honored to serve as the Assistant Principal at Wallace Elementary in Richardson ISD. I’ve been in education for over 12 years, with 10 of those years dedicated to teaching bilingual elementary students and 2 years focused on coaching and supporting teachers.

I’ve spent half of my life in Mexico and the other half in Texas, so I am proudly bilticultural—something that deeply shapes how I connect with students, families, and staff. Being bilingual and bicultural allows me to build meaningful relationships and support all learners with empathy and understanding.

I earned my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Southern Methodist University. I’m passionate about creating a positive, inclusive school culture where every student feels supported and empowered to succeed.
