“How do you inspire and encourage your students to live out the Mesquite Promise in their daily lives?”
Principal Leeann Englert: At Porter Elementary, the Mesquite Promise is lived each day through growth, belonging, respect, and leadership. Students set academic and personal goals, celebrate milestones, and hold themselves accountable, guided by the vision “Every child. Every day. Whatever it takes.” A strong House System fosters connection, encouragement, and healthy competition, ensuring every student and family feels welcomed and valued. Respect and dignity are givens, with collaboration across students, staff, and the community. Porter students are leaders and difference makers—mentoring peers, engaging in leadership programs, and contributing positively inside and outside the classroom. Together, Porter creates a culture where every individual is empowered to succeed and make an impact.
