Principal's Message

We are excited to welcome Jose Topete as our new principal. Principal Topete brings a unique and valuable perspective to this role, rooted in deep connections to both our community and our school. A graduate of Perris High School and a longtime educator within PUHSD, he understands the heart and soul of our district.

From 2008 to 2016, Jose served Heritage High as a Spanish teacher, football coach, club advisor, and interim assistant principal. Most recently, he has served as assistant principal since 2020 and as interim principal. A UC Riverside graduate and former Spanish teacher, Jose has consistently demonstrated his commitment to multilingual education, cultural understanding, and student-centered leadership.

What makes Principal Topete especially well-suited for this position is his genuine connection to our community and his unwavering dedication to student success. As he shared, "I am thrilled to start my new role as principal. I think my years of experience as a Patriot will help me continue to have a positive impact on students and staff."

Under Principal Topete's leadership, Heritage High School will continue to be a place where students are challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. His experience, dedication, and deep understanding of our school culture position him perfectly to lead us into the future.
