From Principal Legg

Hello Mustang Families!


  • Thank you for your support of our school as we build scholars who will live and work in 2030, 2050, and 2075.


  • Congratulations to the new Assistant Principal, Mr. Ruzzamenti. He joins the Mustang Family on Monday, September 11th. Prior to being selected as an administrator, Mr. Ruzzamenti taught middle school science and AVID at Chapparal High School in Temecula. Email him @ jruzzamenti@tvusd.us to introduce yourself and welcome him to Margarita.

  • Congratulations to our new Intervention Administrator, Ms. Dawn McCullough. In her new role, she will be focusing on student IEPs, 504s, State Testing, and individual and schoolwide interventions. Many Mustang Families know Ms. McCullough well while she served as a science teacher, ASB Advisor, and Interim Assistant Principal at MMS for numerous years. Email her @ dmccullough@tvusd.us to introduce yourself and congratulate her on her new role at Margarita.


  • Remember Mustang Spirit Days: Every Wednesday is College Day, and Fridays are Mustang Blue Day.


  • Thank you for helping us focus on Being Connected, Being Curious, and Being Consistent!


Thank you for your help in making the Margarita Family so great!


Sincerely,


Mr. Duane Legg

Principal, MMS
