Welcome to Desert Mirage 2010-2011

The 2010-2011 school year is off to an exciting start with our new administration, including Principal Luis Rodriguez and Assistant Principals Tara Alford and Sergio Torres. We also have more than 15 new teachers. Summer trainings in AVID strategies, Advanced Placement, Thinking Maps and ERWC have helped staff to enter the school year with confidence and passion. As the year goes on, we will continue to use this blog to clarify our Mission, Vision, Values and Goals as a school community to ensure that FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
