West Mesquite High School is a secondary school in Mesquite, Texas, United States.

The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Mesquite Independent School District.

The school serves the western portion of Mesquite and most of the MISD portion of Balch Springs.

The school mascot is the Wrangler. The school is located near the Mesquite Championship Rodeo arena (now named the Resistol Arena), and was actually built on land once owned by the Rodeo. There was once a pond that horses drank from. If it were there today, it would cover the water fountain, and much of the north end of the football stadium.

Memorial Stadium is on campus along with The Mesquite Tower which broadcasts the school districts own radio station, KEOM.

[edit] Standard dress

All students at West Mesquite High are required to dress according to a standardized dress code (similar to a school uniform) as of 2005; the code is at all Mesquite ISD middle and high schools.
