Greetings from Mesa Vista Consolidated Schools! My name is Tracie Phillips, and I am honored to have been chosen to be the new superintendent at Mesa Vista. Many of you know me, as I was the principal at Mesa Vista Middle and High School until early February. I am not new to education or New Mexico. I was born and raised in Freeport, Texas, a small coastal town approximately 50 miles south of Houston, and began my educational career there 27 years ago. Since that time I have taught every grade 1st-8th and served as a principal at the elementary, middle, and high school levels in Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. In New Mexico, I served as the middle school principal in Dulce from 2003-2007 and later as the high school principal in Hatch.

I am so honored to have been chosen to help lead this district forward. I have grown very fond of the area, and I love the kids and families. Additionally, I truly enjoy my job, and although it can be stressful, it is also very rewarding. I have always loved Northern New Mexico and I feel especially blessed to have the opportunity to live and work here. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and I feel that I have the background and experience to help bring Mesa Vista Consolidated Schools into the spotlight. However, I cannot do it alone. In these times of high stakes testing and accountability for all, it is quite simply an overwhelming responsibility, and I will need the support of staff, students, parents, and community members to make our district the best it can be.

I have high expectations for the entire school community. There are so many things to do in this district, and we all must challenge ourselves to give it 110% every day. I pledge to treat the students, staff, parents, and community members of Mesa Vista with respect and dignity, to honor your heritage and culture, and to do my best to provide the most rewarding educational experience possible for each of you. In return, I ask that you do the same for me. I have an open door policy and will always pledge to return phone calls, so please do not hesitate to contact me at (575) 581-4504 ext. 313 if you have any questions and/or concerns. Remember, working together, we can make a difference! 

Sincerely,

Tracie Phillips
Superintendent
