Desert Mirage High

Crew Who's Who

Jeni Eskridge

Director & Producer

Ms. Eskridge started at Desert Mirage High School in 2013 as a Language Arts teacher but moved into the role of Lead of the Arts, Media & Entertainment Academy a year later. Now in it’s third year, the AME Academy is Ms. Eskridge’s dream job and it is her privilege to introduce, train, and encourage students in the performing arts. She is a firm believer that the most important thing that a student learns from participating in the performing arts is a self-confidence that they carry with them forever! Break a leg, GREASE cast & crew! Ms. Eskridge is incredibly proud of you!
Jennifer Pavia

Choreographer

Ms. Pavia studied Kinesiology at Cal State San Bernardino. Her love for dance started in High School when she performed in Colorguard and Winterguard shows. She has been teaching dance for 14 years and is currently part of the Arts, Media and Entertainment Academy at DMHS. In her spare time, she loves to hike and vacation with her family. She would like to shout out to one of her all-time favorite students, Alexis Jaimes for all of her help, dedication and inspiration over the past 3 years. "I’m going to miss you."

I am a senior at Desert Mirage High School. I have been in AME academy for two years and it has impacted my life in a way that made me change and improve myself.

Also to my parents for allowing me to stay in the Academy.
