Mesquite ISD students and volunteer attorney honored for mock-trial work
Summary
Mesquite ISD recognized its mock-trial team and volunteer attorney sponsor Megan David for sustained mentorship and travel to multiple practice sessions; students described the coach’s commitment and its impact on confidence and skills.
The Mesquite ISD Board of Trustees heard a recognition for the district mock-trial program on April 14, as coaches and students praised volunteer sponsor Megan David for her sustained work with students.
Jeffrey Blackwell introduced the students and described the team’s competitive history. A speaker noted the sponsor "has no connection to Mesquite ISD" but volunteers substantial time and financial support, driving an hour each way multiple times per week during competition season. Students described that support in personal terms; one student said, "Miss Megan David is the best mock trial coach in the world," and another added that she taught confidence, mentorship and pride.
Blackwell and the board thanked David for her contributions and paused for photos with the students. The presentation underscored the district’s extracurricular emphasis and the role of community volunteers in supporting competitive programs.
