Without a doubt, Mesquite High will hold a permanent spot in my heart. At the age of fourteen, I walked through the foyer for the first time- confident in my identity but inquisitive about who I would become after this four year journey. Prior to my first day, my mother raved about the beauty of high school and the opportunity to indulge in priceless knowledge and youthful oblivion. She encouraged me to make this time count because I would remember and cherish it forever. Wholeheartedly, the MHS student body and teaching staff welcomed me into the wildcat family. I’ve met people I will know for the rest of my life and I’m grateful for the knowledge and experience I’ve acquired throughout my time at MHS. Once a wildcat, always a wildcat!
The teachers at mesquite really care about their student they want to see you succeed. They take the extra time to make sure you understand material and grasp concepts. They go beyond just making sure you are okay with your school work they want to know how your day is going how your family is doing. The staff at mesquite is very involved with their students! The campus is beautiful and the students make sure it stays that way. There is a volunteer club that goes around and picks up trash on campus and in surrounding neighborhoods I love that this teaches students the importances of environmental awareness. Peers are great with one another and try to make sure everyone is included. There are an abundance of clubs for every interest!
Very good school with strong academic classes. Great counselors and most of the teachers are excellent. The school provided a survey for parents and improved so much academically based on the parents responses to the surveys. Great coaches also, they provide create clubs led by excellent caring teachers. School is very organized and also the principal and administrators are professionals and care about the school safety and strong academics. Friendly front office staff.
