Padre Principal...a Message from MirizioGreetings!PSAT…meet the deadline“EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING”Welcome back. There is a real electricity in the air as we begin another school year here at Marcos deNiza. For the first time in eight years, we are officially over 2000 students. The good news is we aregrowing; students desire to attend Marcos de Niza for our excellence in academics, athletics and activities.On the flip side our classes are full, and we ask for your patience as our teachers and students settleinto a routine.We just received some very good news in the academic arena. We have again met the standards for Adequate Yearly Progresswithin the No Child Left Behind guidelines . This is achieved by improvement on the AIMS test scores in math, reading andwriting as well as improvement in our dropout/graduation rates. This again is a wonderful achievement, and we are very proud ofour teachers, staff and students.Speaking of excellent students, this year we have three National Merit Finalists—Stephanie White, Lydia Spielberg andNatalie Schmidt. We are extremely proud of their accomplishments as they represent the cream of the crop in their pursuit ofAcademic Excellence. In addition, Marcos has added to the curriculum this year many challenging courses, such as Jr. APEnglish, Sr. AP English, AP World History, AP American History, Aspire to Teach, Interdisciplinary Studies (Academic Decathlon),We the People, and a TV Production Class. We are pleased at the students desire to excel.For those new to our school and district, let me share some of our students’ accomplishments from last year. Our athletic and activitiesprograms have flourished. In all sports programs there has been an overall increase in Padre participation. For the firsttime ever, the Boys and Girls Cross Country teams qualified for State. Last year two of our Mdn golfers were named the numberone golfers in the region—Mike Sentell and Melanie Boyles. In addition, the Girls Golf team placed 3rd at State and were celebratedas the top team from the public schools. Both the Boys and Girls Basketball teams went to State last year. Of course,Wrestling won its third straight State Championship. Our clear outstanding performances in extracurricular activities has alsotudent option...testing outmade it possible for the MdN Band to participate in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl Parade, for the orchestra to tour Germany, and for thechoir and drama students to receive accolades for their excellent spring musical. Padre pride and excellence from our studentswill hopefully bring continued success in this next school year.Something we will continue here at Marcos de Niza is our closed campus during lunch for all freshman and sophomores. Onlyjuniors and seniors with the proper I.D. will be allowed to leave campus for lunch.I would also like to remind all parents that the student and faculty parking lots are NOT student drop off areas. Pleaseuse the bus drop off on Westchester, the west side of Lakeshore or any of the side streets. We have worked closely withthe traffic engineers in the city of Tempe in order to reline Lakeshore for safety concerns.As always, I welcome any conversation you wish to have with me regarding Marcos de Niza and the pursuit of excellence wehave established here. Please feel free to call me at (480) 838-3200 x 47651.We thank you for your support.Frank Mirizio, PrincipalPSAT’s will be taken on Saturday, October 16th, 2004, at 8:00 a.m. in the Marcos de Niza High School Auditorium.
