"Happy Principals Month!

“How do you inspire and encourage your students to live out the Mesquite Promise in their daily lives?”

Dr. Valerie L. Nelson: For more than 30 years, my purpose has been to create learning environments that open unlimited opportunities for students. I believe intellect can never be taken away, but bias can limit access to experiences and growth. Each day, I use my God-given talents to honor this purpose—through the people I hire, the programs we design, and the culture we build. At the MISD Learning Center, our mission is to cultivate a climate of Excellence Always that fosters self-discipline, academic achievement, resilience, and self-awareness. By showing students their true potential, we help them see that the sky is limitless. The Mesquite Promise—We All Belong—is woven into everything we do, ensuring that every student, teacher, and community member experiences dignity, restoration, and belonging.
