March 10, 2023 – Roger Landeros has been named head football coach and athletics boys coordinator at Highlands High School. He replaces Chris Castillo, who left to be the head football coach at Kyle Lehman High School. 

Most recently, Landeros served as the assistant head football coach and defensive coordinator at Stevens High School in San Antonio. He helped the Falcons reach the third round of the UIL state playoffs in 2019. Landeros also worked as a football coach at Taft, South San, and West Campus high schools. This will be Landeros first head coaching job.

“I am super honored to be the Highlands head football coach,” said Landeros, a native of Perryton in the Texas Panhandle. “I can’t wait to get started. We are going to build on the great tradition Highlands has established in the past. Our goal is to get back to the glory days.”

Landeros inherits a Highlands team that has made the state playoffs the last three straight years, which includes winning a co-share district championship in 2021.

Under Landeros, the Owls will run a multiple offense that will emphasize running and passing the ball. Defensively, the team will focus on keeping offenses on their heels by operating out of a 3-4 defense.  

“San Antonio ISD is a prideful community,” Landeros said. “That is what drew me here. Highlands has strong leadership at its campus. I just want to help grow with the foundation that is there. I am super excited about what the future holds for us.”

Landeros began his coaching career in 2005 in San Antonio. 

"Coach Landeros is a talented individual and brings a lot of energy to this role,” said Fred Anthony, SAISD senior executive director of Athletics. “He is focused on athletic and academic success, and I am very excited for him, the student athletes, and the Highlands community."
