“How do you inspire and encourage your students to live out the Mesquite Promise in their daily lives?”
Principal Jose M. Peterson-Torres: My strategy for inspiring students to live out the Mesquite Promise daily is to embed it directly into the culture of our campus, driven by my commitment to determination, collaboration, and empowerment. I will personally model a no-excuses mindset and persistence to help students develop the Promise's 16 positive habits, while actively cultivating a community that values trust and empathy to foster a shared commitment to dignity and belonging. By integrating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and restorative practices throughout our school environment, I will empower every student to Seize Tomorrow Today, making them problem-solvers who own their success and contribute positively to our society.
