Miss Haas (now Jernigan) taught my children to read-we were so lucky to have her as a first grade teacher. She is now the Interventionist and we are so excited to have our youngest come up through the DM family.

My son has been a student at Desert Mirage for 4 years now. In the beginning things were rocky, he's a special needs student so I had to take a parental stand with district. he's now established and due to his Educators/Teachers over 4 years his progress is amazing! Thank you so much Desert Mirage Faculty :) Ms Chambers

My son attended Desert mirage however the schools unwilleness of adressing my son's needs have left us wondering if this is the school he should attend. The Principals need to better attend the needs of children with possible-special needs regardles of the cost.

I have to say that this year my seventh grader has begun to love math again.. Mrs. Necaisse has done an outstanding job. We as parents are generally concerned in the earlier years BUT forget how middle school is the grooming for high school. I can't say enough about Mrs. Necaisse. She has tapped into her potential and that is a celebration!

Finally I feel like my daughter is getting the education she deserves!! My earlier post was a complaint, but her last 2 teachers (Hunt and Bridgford)have been outstanding. I really feel like she is receiving a more individualized education both in the classroom and through the pep program, which is all I really wanted for her. My kindergartener has a fantastic, experienced teacher (Campin) and has learned so much!! Good job, Desert Mirage!!
