Dr. Mandel’s Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please read the following message from Ms. Montiel –Turner:

First of all, TIGER PRIDE! Marana High School is an amazing school with a remarkable

community. It has been my privilege serving the athletes, parents and coaches for the

last four and half years. I am saddened to say I will be leaving Marana High School next

week. This was a very difficult decision and I still have a difficult time believing it is a

reality. I truly appreciate the opportunity the athletes, parents, and coaches have given

me in being their Athletic Director. It has been an honor!

Tiger Pride!

Ms. Monika Montiel Turner

I want to commend Ms. Montiel-Turner on her dedication to the Marana High School

community. She has put in countless hours and has been unrivaled in her passion for

Tiger Pride. She has provided the students, teachers, and athletes of MHS boundless

support. It is by no mistake that she calls the students, “her kids.” As she embarks on

her new path, I know that we all wish her well.

In order to assure a smooth transition and to provide administrative support for the

duration of the school year, we have been able to secure the assistance of three veteran

administrators. Due to previous commitments each administrator will work part time,

and beginning next week our substitute administrators will start their time on our

campus. They include:

- Jane D’Amore – Most recently, Ms. D’Amore was the principal of Tortolita Middle School until she retired from MUSD.

- Jan Truitt – Most recently, Dr. Truitt was an Assistant Superintendent in MUSD. She was also the principal of Marana High School during her career in MUSD.

- Susan Sloan – Ms. Sloan most recently was the Associate Principal and Athletic Director at Mountain View HS until she retired from MUSD.



As you can tell, we have the fortune to have a strong administrative staff joining us. I

am confident that our ability to serve the teachers, students, and community will be

strong in the coming months.

Have a great week,

Dr. David Mandel

Principal, MHS

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 616-6400 or email: [email protected].
