Mesa Middle School’s Physical Education Teacher, Liz Salas, is the definition of a genuine and selfless educator. Every single day, she goes above and beyond—putting students first and leading with compassion and integrity.
Her classroom (which is anywhere she is) radiates kindness, and students are naturally drawn to her positive energy and caring spirit. She’s a true teammate that is always ready to help colleagues, advocate for what’s right, and quietly step in to meet the needs of others before they even have to ask.
Whether she’s caring for the environment (and every creature in it!), leading before- and after-school clubs, or jumping right into the fun during school assemblies, Coach Salas does it all with heart and purpose. Thank you, Coach Salas, for always going the extra mile, leading with heart, and reminding us what it means to be a true team player—on and off the court!
