If the kids can't or will not comply with dress standards and the parent does not support the policy, suspend the student until they conform. All schools should be monitored for drug dealers as needed.

My youngest child will be a senior at North Mesquite this '09-'10 school year. Throughout the years my kids have attended schools in the Dallas, Garland, and Mesquite ISD's as well as the Catholic Diocese of Dallas. My first experience with NMHS was in '05-'06; I was less than impressed. Most especially with the administration and counseling staff. During this past school year I saw many positive changes at North that I attribute solely to the hiring of the new principal. The impact of his arrival on the entire faculty and staff was evident from the very beginning. As an actively involved parent, I can attest to a complete turnaround at this school. My son's grades have even improved -icing on the cake! There are many parent reviews of NMHS that, though harsh, are likely not inaccurate. They describe a culture that is now in the past. I would recommend NMHS.

I'm sure there are many better schools in the metroplex than North Mesquite. But the relentless bashing it and it's now leaving principal have recieved in these reviews is ridiculous and unfounded. As a current senior I happen to know that the school has many fine teachers as well as many not so great ones. This mix is common to almost all schools. I also know that our principal probably could have done a better job. But that is not to say that she has done a bad one. The notion that the administration does not care is in my opinion ludicrous. The few policies of the school that many seem to disagree with are not implemnted by them anyway, but by the district. Blame the school board members if you must. But don't try to say this school is bad. It is anything but.
