Hello Villa Family!

I am honored to have been selected as the new principal of Villa Fundamental Intermediate School. I have served as an educator for over 20 years, most of those years in Santa Ana schools. From 2013 to 2016, I was an assistant principal at Villa, so I am excited to be able to return to this school and serve the community in my new role.

As a Fundamental school and also an AVID National Demonstration School, Villa sets high expectations for students and offers them all the support they need in order to be successful in high school as well as college and career. One of my goals is to provide all students with a structured, supportive and challenging learning environment that encourages them to thrive and grow.

The last couple of years have been very difficult for our students, and it is important that they find ways to connect to the campus. We encourage all students to take advantage of the many opportunities to participate in electives, clubs, athletics and more. In addition, Villa teachers and staff take a proactive approach to providing students with a Multi Tiered System of Support so that all students can realize their full potential.

I’m looking forward to an amazing school year, and I cannot wait to be a part of your students’ educational journey!

John Bennett
