Welcome to Room 402! I’m Ms. Agius and this will be my fifth year at Mesa Middle School! Before teaching at Mesa, I was a sixth grade teacher at Nipomo Elementary School for two years. But, I knew I loved math too much and wanted to teach it all day and that is why I transferred to Mesa!
Speaking of math, I will be teaching two courses this year: Math 7 and Accelerated Math 7. These two courses challenge students with mathematics skills that they will need in their everyday lives, like how to calculate tip and tax, while also preparing students for their future math classes like Algebra by providing pre-algebra skills including working with negative numbers and variables!
While I’m not teaching, I love to read, hike, and paddleboard. I also love baseball, soccer, and football.
Go Hawks!

Welcome to Room 401! I'm Mr. Marx and I am excited to be here at Mesa Middle School! This is my first year at Mesa, and fifth year teaching overall. Prior to arriving at Mesa I taught 8th grade math in Paso Robles and 7th grade math in Garden Grove.
This year I will be teaching Math 7 as well as Intervention for 7th grade. I will also be coaching 8th grade volleyball for both girls and boys. I am excited to work our new Hawks!

I went to University of Oregon (Go Ducks!), then received my teaching credential at Cal State Northridge. I am originally from Burbank, CA, and moved up to the Central Coast 2 years ago.
When I am not teaching I enjoy playing volleyball, spending time with my wife and our dogs, playing video games, and watching football.

Hello, my name is Arik Sandoval. This will be my first year teaching at Mesa Middle School as an RSP math teacher. Along with math, I will also be supporting students in an Academic Seminar. I am super excited to meet all of the amazing students here at Mesa! Outside of school, I am a husband and a father to two wonderful kids. I also have a dog and a kitten! I love to hike, travel, spend time with family and to watch anything sci-fi! I am excited for a great year and go Hawks!!!

My name is Natalie Manosar. I grew up in Arroyo Grande, attended Dana Elementary, Paulding Middle School and Arroyo Grande High School before leaving to Mississippi for college. I missed California so much that I graduated in 3 years with a Bachelors in Math Education. My first teaching job was at Paulding Middle School as a classroom size reduction teacher. Since then, I have taught grades 7-12 math in my 21 years experience. On my free time, I enjoy gardening, cooking, crafting, and watching movies. I have 2 daughters, a 7 year old and 17 year old.
Fun fact: I had the pleasure of being my own daughter's Algebra teacher! (I don't think she enjoyed the experience. )
I am excited to be at Mesa for my 15th year. I hope you enjoy being a Mesa Hawk as much as I do.

Hello and welcome! My name is Ms. Watts and I am super excited to join the Mesa Middle School Family.
I was born and raised in Northern California (Redding) and went to college at UC Berkeley. I've lived all over California and in Kansas and I'm so thankful to have lived on the central coast for the last 5 years. My youngest son is starting Middle School at Judkins this year. My middle son is a Senior at New Tech and my oldest son is starting his second year at Cuesta Community College.
When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family, especially in nature. My Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw and I love to laugh and have fun.
