“How do you inspire and encourage your students to live out the Mesquite Promise in their daily lives?”
Dr. Kelly Long: "At Poteet High School, we bring the Mesquite Promise to life by making sure students see its four pillars lived out in real ways each day. We remind them that“ you were made to excel” by celebrating both big and small academic successes in classrooms, assemblies, and even on social media. Teachers and coaches provide tutoring, interventions, and extra practices so that every student knows we believe in their potential and their ability to grow.
We reinforce that “you belong here” by building a strong Pirate Family. From the welcome students receive at the door, to the traditions of pep rallies, homecoming, and Pirate Give Back Day, we show them that they are part of something bigger than themselves. Clubs, athletics, fine arts, and student organizations provide spaces where every student can find a home and a voice.
We emphasize that “your dignity is a given”
