- Congratulations to Mrs. Gipson, WM's MISD Apple Corps Award Recipient
Thank you so very much for this prestigious honor. I am humbled and grateful and a bit overwhelmed by this recognition. I’d like to recognize my fellow Wranglers. My colleagues at West are an amazing bunch of folks. I am often moved by their unceasing commitment to our students. Our faculty is always pushing each other to do more and be more, both in and out of the classroom. We care about each other and our students. We have a profound sense of purpose at West; the students there need us. That may be the greatest responsibility and the most rewarding part of our job. There is definitely a family atmosphere at West, and I believe this is what makes our campus stand out from others. We laugh and cut-up AND worry and cry together. I have made lifelong friendships at West, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. Again, I sincerely thank you for this recognition."
Mrs. Gipson, U.S. History and World Geography Teacher
The Mesquite Schools' Apple Corps program rewards excellence in teaching by honoring outstanding MISD teachers.
Begun in January, 1990, this honorary program inducts two new teachers each month at the regular meeting of the District's Board of Trustees. These excellent educators are chosen from a pool of teachers who have been nominated by their peers at each school. The elite group enjoys many forms of public recognition and appreciation each year. Congraultions, Mrs. Gipson! - Congratulations to our JROTC Teams
The cadet leaders of all five JROTC programs in Mesquite went through an intense Leadership Camp and the Wrangler Battalion represented our school with many top honors.
Destiny Rucker, Isaac Meza, Melissa Wilcox, Shyanne Fagg and Liliana Silva won the Commanders Coin for being members of the Best Platoon. Treshawn Ward was the top cadet in Physical Fitness. Carlos Terrazas was awarded a Plaque for being the top cadet in his Platoon. Cecilia Vazquez was the Distinguished Graduate and Number 1 Cadet out of all 5 programs.
Congratulations to the students and all of the WM students who attended the camp. - Congratulations to Our Lariette Officers
Lariette officers, Maura Jaquez, Danielle Montemayor, and Lexis Clement attended Dancelines Officer Camp and received the following awards:
