Digital School Flyers Title 1 Parent Right to Know

North Mesquite High School, home of the Stallions, opened in 1969 as the second high school in Mesquite ISD. The campus serves students in grades 9 through 12 and hosts the Regional Day School Program for the Deaf.

Originally developed as part of a district-wide comprehensive plan, the school’s location was planned even before the construction of the LBJ Freeway. Named for its position in the northern part of the city, North Mesquite opened in two phases with Phase II completed in 1989 to meet the needs of the growing community.

Fight Song

Vic-t'ry, vic-t'ry is our cry
For North Mesquite High.
Through thick and thin
We'll not give in
It's Stallions do or die.
Forever more we will be true
To our colors of white and blue.
We'll fight to win, we'll not give in
Yea Stallions, we are for you!

Alma Mater
Hail to North Mesquite High School
and the white and blue.
Loyally we sing your praises.
Ever will be true.
After we have left your portals
Mem'ries will remain.

HB3 requires school boards to adopt detailed plans developed by their management teams that achieve goals in two key areas:
1. Early childhood literacy and mathematics (EC-LM) proficiency
2. College, career, and military readiness (CCMR)
School boards must review the progress of each plan at least annually at a public meeting. These goals will be posted on the district website for the district level goals and on each campus website for the campus level goals once approved. The Board of Trustees approved these goals at the May 9, 2022, meeting. To view a downloadable, printable document containing these goals, click on the following button.
