A Message from Our Principal Greetings Western Valley Families! My name is Marco Antonio Ruiz, and I am your school principal. On behalf of all of our staff and myself, I would like to welcome you to our learning community. This is my 22nd year in education, having spent nine years as a classroom teacher and 12 years as a principal. I earned my bachelor of arts degree in bilingual elementary education from the University of Arizona , my master’s degree in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University , and I am currently working on a doctorate in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University. As a native of Phoenix, I grew up in the valley. I am also a proud father of one son, Marco Jr., who currently resides in Houston, Texas.
