Señor Brown will be attending our reunion!

We are thrilled to announce that Mr. Brown, who has dedicated 27 years to the Tempe Union High School District (TUHSD), including 16 years at Marcos de Niza, will be joining us at our 20-year reunion!

Many of us fondly remember Mr. Brown as our beloved Spanish teacher and, in 2003, our Vice Principal. Today, we’re proud to celebrate him as the current Principal of Marcos de Niza! His leadership and influence have made a lasting impact, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him as a special guest at our reunion.

This is shaping up to be an unforgettable event—don’t miss it!

Coach Stark will be attending our reunion!

Let’s give it up for the one and only Coach Stark! A true MDN legend who has been with Marcos de Niza since 1998, his dedication to our Padres is unmatched. Coach Stark has not only led our varsity basketball team to victory with an incredible 300+ wins (yes, you read that right—300+ WINS), but he’s also shaped the lives of so many of us along the way.

His loyalty and passion for the game have made him a cornerstone of our school’s history, from state championships to countless moments on the court that inspired us all. And after all these years, his impact still echoes through MDN, making him a true hero both on and off the court. We are beyond grateful for his leadership and commitment to the Padres family! We can’t wait to see him at the reunion and give him the recognition he so richly deserves.
