  • MMHS Alum in the News!

    Posted by Sara Leonard at 10/20/2012
    Kevin Ozier:

    The link below is about Kevin Ozier, graduate of MMHS. One can't help but follow Kevin and root for him because he was such a great student. Hard working, polite and respectful. A true role model. We at Mira Mesa are incredibly happy for him because Kevin Ozier has worked incredibly for everything and he has earned the place he is at today. Congratulations to Kevin Ozier!

    Damien Williams:

    The link below is about Damien Williams who graduated 3 years ago from Mira Mesa, went to a JC in Arizona and just transferred to Oklahoma this year. He is already setting records. Damien is also a special story because he was a student who was very respectful, polite and a great role model for kids who are struggling to just keep plugging along and never quit on school.

    Damien Williams has a chance at going in the NFL this year as a round 1 or 2 draft choice or if he continues at Oklahoma, he will most likely be in the running the Heisman Trophy. He is worth following.
