Mesquite ISD is committed to developing an inspiring and innovative learning community that educates and empowers students to pursue excellence. The school district is dedicated to preparing and nurturing curious, adaptive, and creative thinkers who contribute to a changing world. 

We believe that through the integration of technology: 

Students are empowered to connect and collaborate
Students communicate their ideas in a variety of formats
Students learn in a meaningful, relevant, and real-world context
Students own the learning process based on their learning styles, needs, and desired outcomes


Mesquite ISD supports students’ growth in these areas by providing students access to and use of district-approved materials that include:

Digital textbooks such as HMH, Pearson, ConnectED, and more
Google Classroom and Seesaw Learning Management Systems 
Web applications such as Desmos, EdPuzzle, Pear Deck and more
Various Chrome extensions and add-ons
Library Resources such as Britannica School, Sora and more
