Mesquite High School (MHS) is a public high school in Mesquite, Texas, United States. It is part of the Mesquite Independent School District. It participates in the University Interscholastic League 6A division.

History

In the March 1901, the Mesquite Independent School District was incorporated at the behest of the citizens of Mesquite Texas to serve the primary and secondary educational needs of the city. The first school was established at the current site of MHS in 1902 with an enrollment of approximately 200 students. A new high school was built on the property in June 1923. MHS was officially recognized as an accredited high school in June 1924 by the Texas State Department of Education, thus allowing its students to attend Texas colleges and universities without having to take remedial coursework. Additional expansions occurred during 1938 and 1939 as a part of the Works Progress Administration created by President Roosevelt. A historical marker can be found at the street side of L. building and an WPA placard can be found on the outside of the art room to mark these significant events in MHS' history.

MHS students became known as "Skeeters" in 1944. This was a simplification of the traditional "Mesquiters" which had been the previous mascot name for the school. 1954 marked a significant change at MHS when the district relocated all its other existing grade levels to other sites within the city and the campus was solely dedicated to high school education. Integration of the school began in 1964 when area African-American students were allowed to enroll at MHS for the first time. During 1966, a six phase renovation project plan began. The final phase of construction was completed in 1999.

School performance

Historically, 1954 marked a significant change at MHS when the district relocated all its other existing grade levels to other sites within the city and the campus was solely dedicated to high school education.^[2] This change, however, has not stopped the growth in services MHS offers to its students; Mesquite High School offers a broad array of basic "core classes" revolving around mathematics, English, science, and the social sciences as well as more specialized technical classes such as agriculture, web mastering, automotive technical training, and even cosmotology.^[3] The school also hosts its own library.{{efn|[https://sites.google.com/mesquiteisd.org/mesquite-high-school/home Skeeter Library]}} and participates with a radio-broadcasting station.{{efn|[https://www.keom.fm/ KEOM 88.5]}} Both of these, especially the latter, are designed to be partially student operated with instructors and teachers there operating as supervisors for the students.{{efn|KEOM 88.5 "About"}}

For a benchmark of student progress and as an exit exam, Mesquite High School uses the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) on most students entering and exiting MHS. The tests are administered every year for grades 9-11 and are given as remedial tests for graduating seniors who have not passed the previous year's tests.^[4] Ranked against the district and the state, MHS falls behind in terms of students successfully meeting the TAKS expectations for the grades 9-11.^[5]

Band and choir programs

Athletics

The school fields several athletic teams in UIL 5A competition, including a football team that won the 5A Division I State Championship in 2001, and runner up in 4A Division I State Championship in 1974, losing to the Brazoswood Buccaneers.^[11] The school is noted for their football team but has come to be recognized by all of its sporting programs. The Skeeters men's basketball team has made it deep into the playoffs for the past four years (2006–2009). The team is currently ranked in the top 100 in the nation with 3 division 1 signees (2009). The Skeeters are also known for their volleyball team who went undefeated the past three years in district (2008) and lost far into the playoffs (2007). The Skeeters are also known for their school spirit, with students donning full body paint and motivational signs to come out and support their various sports teams. They are most frequently seen at Men's basketball, volleyball, and football games. They are seen as an integral part to athletic success.

Feeding patterns and school demographics

Mesquite High School's relatively large size owes largely to the broad base from which it draws students. Directly, the school receives new freshmen from Agnew, A.C. New and Wilkinson Middle Schools with those schools, in turn, receiving students from the elementary schools Black, Gentry, Gray, Hanby, Tisinger, Mackey, Moss, and Shaw.^[12]
