Change in Student Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures- Starting Monday, November 6th

Due to safety concerns we have determined that a change in Student Drop Off and Pick Up procedures for before and after school is necessary. Below, you will see the two maps of the school that detail the adjustments being made and the expected flow of traffic.


Students may be dropped off and picked up on either the North or South side of campus. Campus entry points will only be allowed through the North and South doors. The front drive way of the school, located on the East, will be reserved for GPS Van Transportation and Special Need pick up and Drop Off.


If you are a visitor, or have a meeting with someone on our campus either before or after school, you will be allowed to park in the Visiting Parking at the front of the school. If those spots are taken up, please use the additional parking on the South side of campus.


We appreciate your adjustment to this procedure and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Preparing for Winter Finals

As the Holidays approach, and you begin to make Holiday arrangements, we wanted to make sure that we communicate about the importance of the last 4 days of the Fall Semester, Winter Finals.


Finals for this Semester start on Thursday, December 14th and will go through the last day of this semester, Tuesday, December 19th. All students participate in a variety of District based finals which are not allowed to be taken at an earlier date. If you know that your student is not going to be here on one of those dates, please use the link below so that we can help make arrangements at the beginning of the Spring Semester for the final to be made up.

Our very own Mesquite Wildcats girls attended the Hermanas 2023 Conference at Chandler-Gilbert Community College where they had an opportunity to learn about the STEM and Engineering field. They engaged in a lot of fun and interactive activities and met with professionals from Intel to learn about their career paths. We are so proud of our girls! Go Wildcats!
