It was built in August 1998 and is part of the Gilbert Public Schools district.[2] It accommodates grades 9–12, and in 2017, the school had a student body of 1,779.[2] Mesquite's colors are Royal Blue and Silver and the teams are collectively called the Wildcats. The school is a member of the Arizona Interscholastic Association's 4A - Desert Sky Conference and competes in Division II and III sports.[1] HistoryThe school opened in August 1998 with only freshmen and sophomore students, while part of the school was not yet completed[3] The first seniors graduated in May 2001, followed by the first senior class to attend all four years in Mesquite High School in May 2002[4]. Since Mesquite's opening in 1998, the school had maintained 5A or 5A-I classification with student counts well above 2,000 and even over 3,000 at times. However, the opening of Campo Verde High School has significantly lowered the school's enrollment. As of 2012, Mesquite and Campo Verde both have about the same student population.[5] Campo Verde and Mesquite High are rivals. CampusThere are twenty main buildings in the school, with a courtyard between the two major constructions.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}} Unlike some high schools, Mesquite has almost no department hallways, with the exception of music, drama, and physical education. Most classes are in the B, G, and A buildings. The portables located near the staff parking lot once held a variety of classes, but as of the 2012-2013 school year, the only portables in use are for Global Academy, an online school that has taken up residence at Mesquite. The A building holds the administration offices, the library, many of the science classrooms, and a connection between the B and G buildings on the second floor. The auditorium, music, and drama classes are located in the F building, which is adjacent to the D building, home to the school's main cafeteria. There are also food courts in the B and G buildings, although the G food court no longer serves food due to budget cuts. The gym and the physical education classes are located in the C building. Extracurricular activitiesThe school's only journalism class publishes a student newspaper, The Shade, nearly every month, while the school's yearbook staff (ROOTS) develops yearbooks for the year's end. There are 50 clubs present in the school, including Japanese Club, National Honor Society, Key Club, FBLA, Drama Club, Ecology Club (which handles the school's recycling program, European Club, Up and Coming Voters Club, and an FFA chapter. The school offers Gilbert's largest Speech and Debate team, and a Student Council (STUCO), which has been awarded Council of Distinction a number of times by the Arizona Association of Student Councils. The school has four orchestras, six choirs, and six bands (including marching and jazz bands). BandsMesquite High School's concert bands, including Symphonic Band, Symphonic Winds, and Wind Ensemble, are year long programs and have four concerts throughout the school year. In November 2014, the marching band was awarded the ABODA Division III State Championship after performing "Every Which Way." The marching band repeated its Division III State Championship in 2015 with the show "Luna Mysterium." They defended their title for the third time in a row in 2016 with the show "Beyond Limits." On the morning of October 24, 2007, Assistant Band Director Christopher Rainer was killed in a car accident. On May 11, 2011, a piece commissioned by Richard L. Saucedo was performed to commemorate Rainer at Mesquite High by the top concert band, Wind Ensemble. The majority of the students in this group at that point were juniors and seniors when this tragedy occurred. Sean Dennison, was hired to fill his position.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} The Rainer Marching Classic marching band competition was founded by the school in 2009 as a tribute to Chris Rainer's memory, impact, and legacy in the Mesquite High School band department.[6] This has become a large, well-established competition in the area, attracting many schools from the region. In 2017, the "10th Anniversary Rainer Marching Classic" competition included 19 different band groups.[7] LogoIn addition to its own school logo, Mesquite frequently uses Kansas State University's Powercat symbol. As part of the licensing agreement between Mesquite and Kansas State, the student council donates $500 to the university every two years.[8] Notable alumni
