Principal's Message

Dear Memphis School of Excellence Mendenhall Families,
 
Welcome to another exciting year at Memphis School of Excellence Mendenhall! Whether you are new to our Eagle family or returning for another year, we are thrilled to have you with us on this journey of learning, growth, and success.
Our school-wide theme — Show Up. Own It. Achieve. Rise. — serves as our guiding vision each day:
 
Show Up ready to learn, engage, and give your best effort.

Own It by taking responsibility for your actions, choices, and growth.

Achieve your goals through hard work, persistence, and a belief in your potential.

Rise above challenges while inspiring and supporting others along the way.

At MSE Mendenhall, we believe in creating a safe, engaging, and rigorous learning environment where every student can thrive. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to provide meaningful instruction, build strong relationships, and offer opportunities for students to explore their talents and passions.
 
We know that education is most powerful when it’s a partnership between school and home. Your support — through encouraging good attendance, promoting a love of learning, and staying engaged in school activities — plays an essential role in your child’s success. Together, we can help every Eagle soar to new heights.
 
I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement, and unforgettable moments. Let’s work together to make this a year where we Show Up, Own It, Achieve, and Rise — every single day.
 
With Eagle Pride,
Relista Ward
Principal
