Meet the School Director
Briana Mesa is a Denver-area native and has been serving students in the metro area since 2007. She first joined DSST as a dean of students at DSST: College View Middle School. In 2020, she transitioned to DSST: Montview Middle School where she led the instructional team as both an associate school director and a school director in training. Briana is thrilled to be the School Director at DSST: Elevate Northeast Middle School and support our youngest Bulldogs on their educational journey. Briana Mesa is a first-generation college graduate and the first in her family to earn a master’s degree. She and her husband are proud parents to two incredible kids, Trey and Charlotte.
