I would like to say that as a MHS alumni myself I can clarify some things for you people. yes the school is in a middle class area, but that area is also heading south. The areae is populated by mormons and mexicans. I have never had a class with Coach Turley(yes she was a p.e. teacher) but yes, there were some girls who would swear up and down that she was a lesbian. The fact that she breached her student teacher contract is a shame, but the girl who had told on her was also quite dumb. She willingly lived and had relations with Coach Turley. She may have been a minor, but she still concented to it. Another thing is that Mesa High has an outstanding p.e. program. The school just recently won an award for it. Thhere’s aerobics, all kinds of different dance classes, all kinds of sports, and there have been female football players, and my senior year, the school had their first male cheerleader. Just saying.
“but the girl who had told on her was also quite dumb. “
the world is full of dumb young girls who are minors.
the issue is a state certified teacher who violated her role as a teacher.
There is absolutely no excuse for the coach’s behavior.
none whatsoever.
Mormoms?
Really,,,head “south” there for sure! ( sarc/off)
