Welcome Back to School

Summer is over and school is back in session!! We all have mixed emotions about summer ending and returning back to school. We look forward to seeing our friends, but miss sleeping in late every day. Don't worry, we are all in the same boat. As we start this school year, we are excited about starting high school, moving up to an upperclassmen level and beginning our senior year! Like every school year we will have obstacles, however, we can choose to either see these obstacles as road blocks or stepping stones. I look forward to working with each one of you and helping you be successful to prepare you for whatever road lies ahead.

A suggestion I have to help you adjust to the new school year and enjoy it is to get involved. Mesquite High School has so many student organizations that can help you get connected and meet new friends. Studies show that students who are involved in their school have more school spirit and do better in school. The Skeeters are always looking for support at various athletic events and clubs need more student involvement. If you are interested in getting involved and would like a copy of the campus organizations, please let me know and I can get you a list.

I am here to help make these years of your high school career enjoyable and educational. No matter how tough you think high school is, try to see the "big picture." An education is something that no one can ever take away from you. You control your own learning and the outcomes of life. Be sure to make wise decisions and live so that you will have no regrets.
