Mesa Public Schools is proud to be named one of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2026, continuing the district’s tradition of excellence as a leading employer in Arizona. With no more than 100 organizations in each state earning a place on the annual list, the recognition places MPS among a select group of employers.

The distinction is especially meaningful because it reflects the experiences and recommendations of employees and recognizes the positive workplace culture our team members help create every day.

“What makes Mesa Public Schools a great place to work is our people. It takes an incredible range of talents and skills to serve our students. Each employee brings something unique, and together, those contributions make MPS what it is. We’re proud to have a workplace where people feel connected to a greater purpose and know their work makes a difference,” said Susan Jenni, executive director of Human Resources.

As MPS continues to grow and evolve, the district remains committed to continue fostering a workplace where employees can contribute their talents, grow professionally and build meaningful careers.
