I wouldn't send my kids there. Not with all the fights and drugs going on.

No teacher has ever stayed at the Mesa campus more than two years. There is no consistency.

She has only been the (...) there for four years so if yo finished college in less than that and also became bank manager that is the real miracle.I think you're lying. The woman is terrible. It was supposed to be a zero tolerance school yet two girls fight and they are let back in. A few weeks later one girl his the other over the head with a hole puncher and there is blood everywhere. If she would have stuck to her word that would have never happened. And to you teacher the only reason you still work for her is you are brown nosing hard. No teacher stays for longer than two years EVER.unless it's the typical brown nose. You know who you are. I was not fired I left with dignity and quit. I've seen her fire some good teachers. Two words. Napoleon Complex!

I have worked for (...) for a number of years. She is a knowledgeable and competent administrator. Those who have written negatively about her have probably been the ones she had to terminate for inadequate performance. This school was under campus improvement, and because of her efforts, we are no longer in that situation. If you do your job and put the students first, you will have no problems from (...). This website claims it will not accept reviews that name staff. In this case, I felt compelled to respond because (...) is named, and I have a lot of respect for her, so I thought another viewpoint should appear.

My mother and I and sometimes made us feel lower but she knew exactly what she was doing! We as students are at the school for a reason and need EXTRA discipline. It is obvious that you parents need it as well because you did lose control of your children. Thanks to (...) I have graduated from UTEP and now manage one of the biggest nationwide banks. My mother and I thank her for where I am at today. Don't be mad because you know she's right and you hate the fact that you're obviously wrong!
