My goal for Mesa is to never be satisfied with being average. I want students to strive to be better by taking advantage of the academic and emotional supports
we have so that there are no excuses as to why they could not succeed. I want Mesa to look at failures and losses as opportunities to improve and find pride in success.********************************************************************************************************************************************
