My experience was amazing I met so many amazing people while attending school there. The teachers are amazing they really focus on making sure you understand the assignments and they make you feel seen they care about you on a personal level. The school it self could use some upgrading because it's a really old school but other then that it was an amazing school I wouldn't have want to spend my last 4 years anywhere else.

My experience in Mesquite High school has been a fun roller coaster, I have met so many amazing people and it's brimming with passionate people.

They really only funded the known programs in the school such as sports, theatre and academic activites. Some of the much lesser known programs were not as fundeded and it would take a while to get any support. The kids are great at the school, however some can make a difference.
